The central government has amended Part II of Flag Code of India to allow the national flag of India to be displayed in the open and on houses and buildings “day and night”. The clause (xi) of Para 2.2 of Part II of the Flag Code of India 2002 has been revised to “Where the flag is displayed in open or displayed on the house of a member of the public, it may be flown day and night”. The clause had earlier read that the flag should, as far as possible, be flown from sunrise to sunset, irrespective of weather conditions.
