The proposed flag is expected to strengthen the spirit of patriotism among students and residents, Waikar said. He suggested that the flag be installed in an open area on the college campus through the Public Works Department (PWD).
Mumbai North West MP Ravindra Waikar has urged the Maharashtra government to install a 150-foot-tall national flag on the campus of the historic Ismail Yusuf College in Jogeshwari (East).
In a letter to Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil, Waikar sought approval for the proposal, stating that the initiative was inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign.
The proposed flag is expected to strengthen the spirit of patriotism among students and residents, Waikar said. He suggested that the flag be installed in an open area on the college campus through the Public Works Department (PWD).
As the existing flag-hoisting site at the college is located on elevated ground, a 150-foot flag could be visible from a distance of nearly one kilometre, according to the proposal.
