Jaipur: The Pink City Jaipur on Monday got its first day-and-night monumental national flag with Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot unfurling the 206-feet-high Tricolour.

The flag, which is 48-feet wide and 72-feet in length will flutter throughout the year at the Central Park here with a high-voltage lighting falling on the flag at night.

The unfurling of the flag comes after the Union Home Ministry in December 2009 allowed the Tiranga to fly day and night on a pole of 100-feet in height and above with proper illumination.

The Home Ministry took the decision following a proposal by industrialist Naveen Jindal who had won a court battle for flying of the Tricolour as a fundamental right for every citizen.

"Tiranga represents every Indian's religion, language, culture and is truly the greatest symbol of our unity in diversity," Naveen Jindal, now an MP from Kurukshetra, said.
