It is notable that the height of patriotism has reached a peak as Ranchi is going to hoist 293 feet tall flag pole and it will be taller than that of Qutub Minar. The second highest National flag and the World’s Largest and Tallest Indian National Flag in Faridabad Haryana stands at 250 feet. Vallabh Park, Mantralaya in Bhopal is having a flag hoisted at the height of 235 feet and measures 60ftX90ft and is the third tallest flag in the country. In Navi Mumbai NMMC headquarters is planned in a Parliament pattern and the house with a dome resembling the one adorning Rashtrapati Bhavan. The building has found an entry in the Limca Book of Records for having the tallest flag post at 225 feet in the year 2006. NMMC has obtained a special permission from the Union Ministry. Now Ranchi flag post may top the highest flag post and create many more records by the way. The amount of hard work put in by workers for forty days will set to get the World’s largest tricolour flying atop the country’s tallest flag pole at the Pahari temple at an estimated cost of Rs.1.25 crores. The lighting arrangements are made in full swing to be ready by Republic day celebrations. Ranchi stands tall among the Indian cities to hoist 293 feet long flag.
