PRESS NOTE

STRICT COMPLIANCE OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE FLAG CODE OF INDIA, 2002 AND PREVENSION OF INSULTS TO NATAIONAL HONOUR ACT, 1971.

There is a trend of hawkers selling plastic National Flags at all places during Independence day and Republic days celebrations. Plastic Flags are not biodegradable and are not eco-friendly. Appropriate disposal of such plastic Flags is a matter of concern as it violates Section 2 of the Prevention of insults to National Honour Act 1971.

Hence, it is an appeal to the general public through press media for not to sell the plastic Flags during Independence day celebrations-2014 and strictly comply the provisions of the above laws and implement the instructions issued by the Government of India.

Superintendent of Police,
