Laws on national flag

M. Rukanuddin, Dhaka
I feel happy to see that the government is going to amend laws in order to uphold the honour of the country's national flag which is the symbol of our nation. Very often it is noticed that our flags are hoisted atop many buildings without following any norms. Sometimes, it is observed that a flag has been kept hoisted for days together even for a month on top of a building where the flag gets discoloured, disfigured, torn and finally dumped. Sometimes, flags made without following the appropriate measurement, are used by people in their houses, cars, etc. Even sometimes, the colour combination of red and green is not maintained as per specification. I would, therefore, hope that the government will give proper guidelines and directives regarding the above aspects of our national flag in the amended laws.
