Preparations are on to erect a scaffolding to reach the flagpole of the India's largest and tallest tricolour atop Ranchi's Pahari Temple after it slipped following high winds on Sunday and then got stuck half-mast due to a technical problem.

India's tallest tricolor appears to be flying at half mast as it has been stuck due to a snag in the pulley system, at Pahari hills in Ranchi, Jharkhand on Thursday. On Wednesday, a team of Army personnel was called in to assess the situation. Pic/PTI
