Mysuru:  The District Committee of Bharat Seva Dal had organised an informative camp on National Flag and National Anthem at the Seva Dal District Office in Gangothri Layout here on Saturday.

Speaking on the occasion, former Commandant of Bharat Seva Dal H.S. Kashinakunti said that the specified code and norms should be strictly followed while hoisting the National Flag. He further said that educational institutions and Associations should hoist the National Flag on Independence Day strictly adhering to norms specified, so also while bringing down the Flag.

He said that the Tri-colour rangoli should not be drawn on either the foundation slab of the flag pole or on the ground.
