History

The Flag Foundation of India had sent its proposal of installing the national tricolour to the NDMC. The proposal was sent by NDMC to the Delhi Urban Art Commission (DUAC). The DUAC approved the proposal after scrutinising the plan. It was ensured that the proposed structure did not lead to any pollution or traffic mess.[8]

The first Indian to hoist the tricolor at Central lawns of Connaught Circus in pre-independent India was the veteran freedom fighter Mir Mushtaq Ahmad who would raise the flag and demand the end of British rule in what was then considered the heart of British imperialism in India.[9]
