For the campaign, the government tweaked the Flag Code. Now, all kinds of materials, including polyester, cotton, wool, silk and Khadi bunting material, can be used for making the flags. Moreover, there is also no restriction on the size of the flag or the timing of its display.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also urged people to put the “tiranga” as their display pictures on social media profiles between August 2 and 15. In his ‘Mann Ki Baat' address, the PM also spoke about the events to celebrate Independence Day.
He said, “People from all walks of life and from every section of the society are participating in different programmes across the country.” "When India completes 75 years of its Independence, all of us are going to witness a glorious and historic moment,” Prime Minister Modi added.
