So far, 115-foot-high flagpoles have been installed at 500 locations. “We will complete the work on all flags in the next 7-10 days,” said a PWD official. In its ‘Deshbhakti’ budget, Delhi government had announced an initiative to cover the city with the Tricolour to commemorate the 75th year of India’s independence. The flags are being installed at Rajghat, Signature Bridge, Laxmi Nagar, Apsara Border and several key intersections, schools and roads. The project’s estimated cost is Rs 104 crore. To manage their upkeep, the government has constituted 325 ‘tiranga samman samitis’. “They have been instructed to remove the flags if the weather is bad,” said the PWD official. The committees, comprising volunteers, will help the government monitor the sites and bring any issues to the concerned PWD officer’s notice. Their responsibilities include ensuring the flag, mast, motor and light fixtures are well-maintained and the surroundings are neat and free of debris. As per the CM’s directions, each committee will assemble weekly at the flag site and play the national anthem. One volunteer will be the coordinator and share a weekly activity report with officials.
