Independence day is celebrated all over the country. Many
apartment complexes celebrate this day by organizing a flag hoisting. Indian
flag is a national symbol representing our pride. It is very important to
respect the national flag.
The apartment management committee
or association of the apartment complex can make a list of dos and don’ts for
the dignity and honor of the National Flag and give a copy of the same to every
resident to create awareness and prevent misuse of the flag. Following are some
of the rules or flag hoisting codes.
- As per the Indian Flag Code, the shape of national flag should be a perfect rectangle. The ratio between the length and width should be 3:2.
- The tricolor panels of the flag should have equal size and in right order. Saffron should be on top, white in middle and green at bottom. In center of the white panel, there should be an Ashoka Chakra in navy blue color with 24 spokes equally spaced.
- During the hoisting ceremony, when the flag is raised, the saffron panel should be on the top. The flag should never be hoisted upside down.
- There should not be any lettering or inscriptions of any type on the national flag. A damaged flag should not be hoisted.
- The flag should never be hoisted at half pole, unless the government specifically demands. The flag should not touch the ground.

No emblem or flag should be above or to the right of
the national flag.- The masthead in which the national flag is hoisted should not hold any other flag.
- The national flag should not hold any candies or decorative materials other than flower petals.
- After the flag is hoisted and saluted, national anthem should be sung. While singing national anthem, residents should not walk, use mobile phones or do anything disrespectful for national anthem.
- The national flag should be taken down in the evening, when the sun sets.
- Avoid the use of plastic flags in the complex, as they are harmful for the environment.
- Small flags used on this day should not be thrown here and there after the celebration. They should be disposed of in private with dignity, by burning, immersing into the river or burying.

While it took quite a few years to receive the now commonplace government Flags, it took a couple of additional to refine it. It was generally censured as being monstrous, and starting in 1880 an occasionally fervent discussion broke out in the press. At last in 1889 the Federal Assembly decided that Switzerland was keeping its white cross, yet that it would be transformed from the five equivalent squares to one in which the arms were one 6th longer than they were wide. This last change in the Flags really carried it into congruity with the cross on the state seal of 1815.
