AP Chamola, the post master general, Dehradun — postal circle which is responsible for postal services in Uttarakhand, told The New Indian, “We had targeted distributing 2 lakh national flags but managed to distribute more than 2.4 lakh. We still have 3-4 days of time and we will manage to distribute at least 3.5 lakh national flags till then.” Uttarakhand government plans to hoist the national flag on more than 20 lakh homes across the hill state.
