The Muni ki Reti-Dhalwala municipality is planning to install a 100 feet high flagpole to hoist the national flag. In order to inculcate the spirit of patriotism among the people and to develop the Suman Park in Dhalwala as a selfie point, an exercise has been started to place a 100 feet high flagpole for the national tricolour here.

 The pole with the tricolor is slated to be installed in the month of February.  The flag is being ordered from Rajasthan.  Along with this, figures of national emblem will be installed under this flag. This will be the second tallest flagpole in this region as some years ago a 110 feet high flagpole was installed at the Divya Prem Sewa Mission near Chandi Ghat in Haridwar.

The Muni ki Reti municipal council chairman Roshan Raturi said that he had gone to Delhi's Connaught Place to participate in an event of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. There he saw the tricolor hoisted atop a 100 feet high flagpole. He also saw people standing under the flag, taking selfies and raising slogans of Bharat Mata ki Jai. 

At that time, he made up his mind to put up a similar tricolor in his area, so that the spirit of patriotism was awakened among the people. He said that when tourists come here, it will be a center of attraction for them and people will stop here and take selfies.  Raturi further said that the national flag to be hoisted on the 100 feet mast in Suman Park is being prepared in Rajasthan. This 30 feet long and 20 feet wide flag is being made from parachute material which is very light and strong. 

Depictions of the national emblems will also be placed near the flagpole. The figures of the national animal, national bird, national sport and other features are being prepared in Lucknow. About Rs 14 lakh will be spent on this entire project, he added.
