Tawang: A towering 73-foot Indian tricolour now flies atop Gorsam Chorten, a significant landmark in Jemithang in Arunachal Pradesh.

Jemithang holds the distinction of being the first administrative centre near the India-China border in the Tawang district.

The flag was hoisted on Wednesday in a ceremony that brought together over 200 locals, Indian Army personnel, and government officials.

The event, organized collaboratively by the Indian Army, the local civil administration, and local monks, was led by Tawang Brigade Commander Brigadier Vipul Singh Rajput.

Dignitaries included Zila Parishad member Lek Norbu, Jemithang circle officer Deewan Mara, village elders, and schoolchildren.

With full military honours, Indian Army personnel hoisted the flag as attendees joined in singing the national anthem.

The towering tricolour signifies both national pride and India’s unwavering sovereignty in the region, particularly along its borders with China and Bhutan.

The high-mast flag is anticipated to significantly enhance Jemithang Valley’s scenic beauty, attracting more tourists and showcasing the region’s rich historical and cultural heritage.

Officials highlighted that the installation is part of broader development initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure and connectivity in border areas.

This project, executed by the Tezpur-based Gajraj Corps and its Ball of Fire Division, received support from the Flag Foundation of India.

It is the second such high-mast flag in the Tawang sector, following the one installed at the strategic Bum La Pass in January last year.

Officials have announced plans to install similar flags at other strategic locations within the district. This initiative aims to further solidify the region’s strategic and cultural identity, while cultivating a stronger sense of national unity and patriotism.
