New Delhi: Following the Jammu and Kashmir government’s order to hoist the national flag at all government buildings, pictures of India’s tricolor flag at a govt building in J-K is being circulated on social media.
This comes after Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has directed the district officers of the union territory to ensure that the national flag is hoisted on all government buildings and establishments under their jurisdiction.
The Deputy Commissioner (DC) Anantnag on Friday issued a circular that mandated hoisting of the national flag on all government buildings and offices across the district within 15 days positively.
The office of DC Anantnag said that it has been impressed upon all-district, sectoral, tehsil, and block-level officers to ensure compliance.
