Many things are happening at night. We got independence at night, statements on seperate states are announced at nyts and why not to fly our flag at night. Countries like Malaysia, Jordon, Abu Dhabi, North Korea, Brazil, Mexico and Turkmenistan have rights to fly their flag at night.
Now we got a New year gift from our government. Indian citizens can now fly the National Flag even at night respecting to the condition that the flagpole is really tall and the flag itself well-illuminated.
The Home Ministry took the decision following a proposal in this regard by industrialist Naveen Jindal, who had earlier won a court battle in the 1990s for flying the national flag (Tiranga) as a fundamental right for every citizen. In a communication to Jindal, also a Congress leader and Member of Parliament, the Ministry said it has examined the proposal and had no objection to installing “giant flagpoles for flying the National Flag day and night at various places.”
In a representation to the Ministry in June 2009, Jindal had sought permission to fly mammoth-sized national flag on monumental flagpoles during night. Jindal had said that the National Flag is to be flown in “as far as possible between sunrise and sunset” as per Flag Code of India, but it was a common practice worldwide for massive national flags to be flown day and night on monumental flagpoles of 100 feet and above in height.
