With the Har Ghar Tiranga Movement the national flag will be displayed at a number of places, houses, carried, etc. . But If it is torn and disfigured and one wishes to dispose it off then please do not throw it in the dust bin, garbage or throw it on a public place or roadside. It is a disrespect to the national flag and offence to do so. There is a proper way to dispose of the national flag and is given in the Flag Code 2002. Please fold it properly by folding the bottom green first and then the orange and finally both sides so that the national emblem the Ashok Chakra is on top. One can keep it in safe place to be used on next occasion. But if it torn and disfigured or one wishes to dispose it then please follow the proper way to dispose it off by giving it the respect it deserves.
There are two ways to dispose it off.
Firstly it has to be folded properly and then put in a wooden box and then buried in the ground and after burial keep a minute silence in respect of national flag.
Secondly one can burn the flag by folding it properly and then placing it in the center of the funeral pyre and finally burning it.
Please follow the correct procedure and show the respect which the national flag deserves.
