    It’s a proud moment for the people of Belagavi. Concerned authorities should ensure the maintenance and respect of our NATIONAL FLAG. Rule says it should follow the Reveille (raising the flag in the morning time during Sunrise) and Retreat (retirement of the flag in the evening during sunset). But God knows whether this procedure will be followed or not.

I feel the sadness. I feel the charm n beauty of the station has withered away with the ?
