Palghar: A complaint regarding poor quality of Indian flags supplied by the Palghar Municipal Council has been raised by the nominated Councillor Advocate Dharmendra Bhatt, who has asked the Palghar District Collector to take disciplinary action against the flag suppliers.

The Palghar Municipal Council had allotted 200 flags to each of the 30 councillors that displayed various issues such as tears, holes, stains, an off-centre Ashoka Chakra, or not in the required 3:2 proportion.

Advocate Dharmendra Bhatt, along with fellow councillors from Palghar Nagarparishad, expressed concerns about the supplied flags and urged the District Collector to reprimand the supplier under The Prevention of Insults to National Honor Act 1972. Advocate Bhatt further pointed out that the supplied flags didn't adhere to the Flag Code of India 2002, which outlines specific quality standards for the National Flag.
