The Telangana government is set to unfurl India’s largest flag erected on the tallest flagpole on June 2. The proposed height of the flagpole is 303 feet — 10 feet more than the current tallest flagpole pole in Ranchi. It was the same Mumbai-based firm that made the the current largest flag at Pahari Mandir in Ranchi (66ft X 99ft). Retired public servant K V Singh of The Flag Foundation of India, who was consulted by the Telangana government, said: “The CM of Telangana wanted it to be the tallest and the largest flag in India. Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had in May announced that the flag will be unfurled at the 92-acre Sanjeevaiah Park in Hyderabad to mark the Telangana formation day.
