A video rapidly went viral on social media showcasing an apparent disrespect to the national flag, just a day before Independence Day in Ambikapur city, Chhattisgarh. The footage is reportedly from the premises of the prominent Holy Cross Hospital, where the Indian national flag appears to have been found lying on the floor.
This incident has raised serious questions regarding the respect and proper maintenance of the national flag. The viral video shows the tricolor lying on the ground in a section of the hospital complex. A sanitation worker is seen in the video sweeping and clearing items from the floor, during which the national flag was discovered.
Concerns Over National Flag's Respect
The video creator recorded the incident and disseminated it on social media, exacerbating public anger amidst the Independence Day celebrations. This matter has surfaced at a time when the entire nation was preparing to celebrate August 15th, Independence Day.

Local residents and relatives of patients admitted to the hospital have expressed deep indignation over the incident and demanded an immediate investigation.
