Kejriwal unfurls 115-ft high tricolour in Timarpur to mark 75th year of independence

New Delhi, Jan 27 (PTI) Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday unfurled a 115-ft high tricolour in Timarpur constituency and said such high-mast national flags were installed at 75 locations across the city to mark 75th year of Indiaā€™s Independence.

He said he will get it examined if this qualifies for a Guinness world record.

ā€œIt is a matter of pride for the country that 75 tricolours on 115-ft high flagpoles have been installed today in Delhi to mark 75th year of our independence. The target is to install total 500 in the next few months,ā€ he said at the ceremony organised near Delhi University campus in Timarpur assembly constituency.

ā€œI have been told that in no city, tricolours (national flags) on flagpoles of this height have been installed on such a large scale. We will get it examined if it qualifies for a Guinness world record,ā€ Kejriwal said.

Till August 15, 2021, the PWD had installed high-mast national flags at five locations in the city, that is, at East Kidwai Nagar, Rani Bagh, East Vinod Nagar, Kalkaji and Dwarka.

The total number of high-mast tricolours in the city is now 80.
