According to reports, the Indian Railways has written to all its zonal offices asking to install 100-ft tall national flag at all the erstwhile ‘A1’ class railway stations in the country.

The Railway Board will provide the monumental flag to the zonal offices for installation.

The order issued by the Indian Railways stated that the flag should be installed in such a position so that it will be clearly visible to the places near the station. The flag should be provided with focused lights.

The Railway Protection Force (RPF) has been given the responsibility for security and safety of the flag at the respective railway stations.
