Chhattisgarh Waqf Board Orders Flag Hoisting for Independence Day
The Chhattisgarh government wants all mosques and religious schools in the state to raise the Indian flag on August 15th for Independence Day.

The leader of the board says the flag is a symbol of pride for everyone and that it shows love for the country.
The flag raising should be done in front of community leaders.
Chhattisgarh Waqf Board mandates flag hoisting at mosques, dargahs, and madrasas.
The directive applies to all religious institutions across the state.
