Trivandrum could boast of having one of the tallest flagpoles in India. Standing 206 feet tall, the flag mast at Kanakakunnu was one of the tallest in India, along with the ones at Hissar, Bellary ( Jindal steel) and a few others. It was my understanding that the flag will never be brought down. This morning, however, I found the mast standing forlorn without the tricolur. Is it because a taller mast (216 ft.) has been erected at the National Military Memorial at Bengaluru? Or is it to stop Modi, who is visiting the city today, from saluting it? :-) Or is it just poor maintenance management?

For a change, the area around the Museum Police station looks clean. Most of the junked vehicles have been removed or shifted making the place look open and easier for pedestrians and other road users. Hope other police stations also follow suit.
