Aizawl: Mizoram Governor V.K. Singh on Wednesday unfurled a monumental national flag at the Assam Rifles base in Zokhawsang, on the eastern fringe of Aizawl, marking a landmark moment for the state.

The Tricolour was hoisted on a 108-foot-high mast—the tallest flagpole in Mizoram—drawing attention to the symbolic importance of the occasion.

Addressing the gathering, the Governor described the event as historically significant and praised the Assam Rifles and the Flag Foundation of India for choosing Zokhawsang as the site for the installation.

Speaking at the programme, Mizoram Home Minister K. Sapdanga said the national flag stands for unity, patriotism, sacrifice and collective aspiration.
