Tallest National Flag unfurled in Shopian District of South Kashmir

On the occasion of Republic Day 2022, on January 26, a large National Flag was hoisted atop a 111-foot flagpole, the tallest in the Kashmir Valley, installed at a stadium in the Shopian district of South Kashmir. Lt Gen DP Pandey who heads the strategically located XV Corps of the Indian Army in the Kashmir Valley unfurled the 150-feet tall National Flag. 

Earlier in September 2021, the tallest flagpole was installed in the Kashmir Valley stadium located in Shopian district as it was worst hit by decades of militancy. It was the efforts of the 44-Rashtriya Rifles personnel who worked hard for 10 days to put the huge structure in place at Batapora stadium in the south Kashmir district.

Maj Gen Rashim Bali, the General Officer Commanding of the Victor Force which looks after the security of south Kashmir, Inspector General of Police (Kashmir Range) Vijay Kumar, Brigadier N S Grewal, and Commanding Officer of 44-Rashtriya Rifles A K Singh had marked their presence at the event. The National Flags which were earlier considered as the tallest were unfurled in Soth Kashmir's Khanbal, Gulmarg, in north Kashmir and Hari Parbat Fort in Srinagar which was atop 100-foot flagpoles.
