The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) have asked people to preserve the national flags at home after the Independence Day celebrations.
 
While speaking about instructions given to residents during the distribution of the flags, Sandeep Malvi - Additional municipal commissioner of TMC, said, “We have distributed over two lakh national flags and we are not going to collect them back. The TMC has asked residents to follow government guidelines to preserve the flags at home after celebrations. During the distribution of the flags we also shared pamphlets with the Flag Code for residents to follow.”
 
BMC too has appealed to Mumbaikars to safely preserve the flags at home. “The BMC has distributed around 35 lakh national flags across the city. The civic body won’t be taking them back. However, we have asked citizens to preserve the flags at home following the Flag Code of India. During the distribution of the flags we informed people about how to properly preserve the flags at home,” a BMC official said.

Meanwhile, Mumbaikars have diverse opinions on the Har Ghar Tiranga Campaign.
