The National Capital District Commission (NCDC) has started hoisting 2000 PNG flags on the street-light poles along the inner city routes since last Saturday. This annual initiative is aimed at putting everyone on the celebration mood for the coming 48th Independence Anniversary whilst rehearsing for the golden jubilee in 2025. City Manager, Ravu Frank is calling on the general public to support and respect the national flags that are on the street-light poles. “Anyone caught vandalizing, damaging or stealing the flags will be arrested and prosecuted,” said the City Manager. “The flag is our pride and identity that unites us as one people in one city and one country with one future.” Everyone is encouraged to both decorate their premises and dress up in national colours of red, yellow, black and white.
