While I appreciate the patriotic gesture, I wonder if ₹47.42 lakh could have been better utilized for infrastructure or education in the region. The flag is beautiful, but we need balanced development.

I visited Khatima last month and the area could really use more development. The solar exhibition under PM KUSUM is a good step forward for farmers. Hope they get proper benefits from this scheme.

The national flag installation is impressive, but I hope the maintenance is taken seriously. We've seen many such installations become neglected over time. Regular upkeep is essential.
