Just after 4 days of hoisting the India's largest flag, amidst a lot of publicity for the 2nd anniversary of the state of Telangana, the flag had to be brought down because strong winds ripped it apart. Officials replaced the tricolor late Monday night.

 

Experts blamed the flag's size for the damage and added that its length was not in proportion with the height of the mast. Others said the quality of the material used for the flag, which a Kolkata firm had manufactured for Rs 1.3 Cr, was poor.
