Chhattisgarh State Waqf Board makes National flag hosting mandatory in front of mosques

Raipur: The Chhattisgarh State Waqf Board on Monday announced that hoisting the national flag will be mandatory at all mosques, dargahs, imambaras, and khanqahs in the state on Independence Day.

Speaking about the decision, Salim Raj Waqf Board Chairma said the move reflects the sentiment that Indian Muslims “honour and respect the national flag.”

“In Chhattisgarh, it is now mandatory to hoist the national flag at the main entrance or in front of every mosque, dargah, imambara, and khanqah. This decision reflects our belief that Indian Muslims deeply honour and respect the Tricolour,” he said.

“This year, flag hoisting ceremonies will be held at all mosques, with respective mosque committees and imams leading the event. A dedicated portal has been set up to upload photographs from each location, ensuring proper documentation of the celebrations,” he added.

Earlier, reinforcing the unified citywide effort to engage and equip private security personnel in safeguarding Delhi during the festive period, interaction-cum-briefing programs were organised on Sunday across all police districts of Delhi to reinforce the role of Private Security Guards as vital partners in maintaining law and order and acting as force multipliers for public safety.
