The tallest flag in North-East India was hoisted on Thursday at the historic INA headquarters complex in the Bishnupur district of Manipur. The event took place on the occasion of India's 78th Independence Day and saw the flag being raised atop a 165 ft tall flagpole.

The INA headquarters holds great historical importance, having been established by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. It was here, on April 14, 1944, that the Indian National Army first hoisted the tricolour on Indian soil.

Speaking about the significance, Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh said, 'Today, we proudly witness the unfurling of the tricolour at the historic INA headquarters in Moirang, Bishnupur district. The flag flies high, symbolizing our nation's pride and glory.'
