Aizawl: Mizoram Governor VK Singh on Wednesday unfurled a monumental national flag at the Assam Rifles base in Zokhawsang, located on the eastern outskirts of Aizawl.
The Tricolour was hoisted on a 108-foot pole, the tallest in the state, which Singh described as a moment of historic significance for Mizoram. He praised the Assam Rifles and the Flag Foundation of India for choosing Zokhawsang as the site, noting that unfurling the flag on Christmas Eve symbolized harmony, hope, and unity among the people.
Home Minister K. Sapdanga, speaking at the event, said the national flag represents unity, patriotism, selfless sacrifice, and aspirations for a brighter future. “The Tricolour evokes memories of India’s freedom struggle and instils deep love for the nation, with the monumental flag further strengthening patriotic sentiments,” he added.
