To Celebrate Its Second Birthday Telangana Wants To Hoist India’s Largest Flag Ever


The Telangana government could soon unfurl the country's biggest and highest tricolour in the state capital Hyderabad on June 2, to mark the occasion of the state's second Formation Day. But it will only be possible once the state government gets clearance from the Airports Authority of India (AAI). Since there are concerns that such a high flag could interfere with the air traffic movement from airbases in and around Hyderabad, regulatory approval is necessary. A New Indian Express report says that the aviation regulator had already objected to the height of the flag, after which the state government decided to reduce the height of the flagpole to 275 feet, 28 feet less than the proposed 303 feet. If and when the flag is hoisted it will done at Hyderabad's Sanjeevaiah Park.
