DHAKA, Feb 10, 2021 (BSS) – National flag will be hoisted half-mast in all
establishments and buildings across the country marking the Shaheed Dibash
and International Mother Language Day on February 21.

“The Bangladesh Flag Rules formulated in 1972 (amended in 2010) has given
directives on how to hoist the national flag properly. Every citizen must
follow the directives,” said a handout here today.

The national flag would have to be first revealed completely and then
lowered to half mast position. The flag would be revealed again fully before
lowering it, the release said.

According to the flag rules the ‘National Flag’ will be in bottle green and
rectangular in size in the proportion of length to width 10:6 bearing a red
circle on the body of the green. The red circle will have a radius of one-
fifth of the length of the flag, the release said.

Depending on the size of the buildings, the flag sizes will be at the ratio
of 10:6, 5:3 and 2.5:1.5.
