Key Rules and Guidelines for Displaying and Handling the Indian National Flag
The Indian National Flag, or Tiranga, is governed by the Flag Code of India, 2002, which outlines rules for its display, handling, and disposal. Citizens, including students, are encouraged to treat the flag with respect, ensuring the saffron band is correctly positioned and the flag never touches the ground or water. Recent amendments allow the flag to be displayed at home on any day, including at night. Certain uses, like draping the flag on vehicles, are restricted to specific officials. Awareness campaigns promote proper flag etiquette nationwide.
