Mumbai: Kolhapur city in western Maharashtra will soon get a 300-feet flag post to fly the tricolour, which would the "second tallest" flag pole in the country, a senior police officer said.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is likely to attend the flag hoisting ceremony on May 1, the foundation day of Maharashtra state, the officer, who recently visited Kolhapur to see the preparation work, said.
"This flag post would be the second tallest in the country," the officer said.
A 360-foot high (110 meters) flag post, said to be the country's tallest, was inaugurated on March 6 at the Indo-Pak Attari Border, just a stone's throw from Pakistan.
Talking to PTI about the development, Chandrakant Patil said, "It's good that Kolhapur will get attention for something positive. The flag post and the Police Garden are being developed by a local trust, hence there is no burden on the state over the task and also its maintenance," Patil said.
