Telangana’s bid for a place in the record books, actually turned reverse as the biggest flat unveiled by the Chief Minister on the State Formation day, is repeatedly getting torn. Not even a month after the hoisting, the Original flag and a spare flag got torn due to the heavy winds the officials claim.
However government claims that Monumental flags getting damaged is a universal phenomenon. Any flag post higher than 100-foot-high and flags with dimensions of over 20/30 feet is considered monumental. There are about 150 monumental flag posts in India, says Flag Foundation of India chief executive officer K.V. Singh
On the other side, there are allegations that cheap fabric is being used for making the flag and that is resulting in the damage. Telangana government is employed a German organization to strengthening the fabric of the flag to prevent this mishaps in future. The government claims there is no issue with the fabric as it was knitted-polyester, similar to the ones in Delhi and Ranchi.
