Summary The tricolour flag at India-Pakistan border was hoisted four times in one month
(Web Desk) – BBC reported on Wednesday that India’s tallest flag had become a disappointment for the country. The flag at India-Pakistan border was hoisted for the fourth time in one month as it couldn’t withstand the weather high up in the sky.
The Indian tricolour flag was torn by the strong wind four times in the last month. A waving flag which is taken as the source of national pride had brought disappointment to the Indian authorities and the idea of having the tallest flag at archrival’s border didn’t bring any good.
There was some criticism as well from the people that the move of hoisting the country’s tallest flag had wasted money as well as damaged the national pride. The tricolour flag was established at the Wagah Border between India and Pakistan at a height of 350ft.

According to the laws as told by Amritsar Improvement Trust Suresh Mahajan, the situation had resulted into a crime as he accused that the flag was hoisted in hurry. There is an absence of the Indian flag on the poll currently.
Indian authorities had failed to consider strong winds that blow across Wagah Border. KV Singh, who is the chief of the Flag Foundation of India, suggested that such tall flags should be avoided in future as they caused problems.
Apparently, making the flag visible from Lahore was the real aim behind India’s tallest flag at the boundary line, however, the move didn’t go very well.
