Tricolour falls off post in Kashmir event
August 15, 2016
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti had to salute the national tricolour held by security personnel in their hands rather than aloft, during the Independence Day function at Bakshi stadium.
When Mehbooba, who was hoisting the national flag as Chief Minister for the first time, pulled the string attached to the post the flag fell off the post and landed on the ground.
As Mehbooba left the stage for inspecting the contingents of the police and paramilitary forces, the security staff at the Bakshi Stadium hurriedly set the flag right and hoisted it atop the post.
