Bengaluru: A long-standing demand by Kannada activists for an official State flag became a major controversy yesterday with Karnataka Government setting up a nine-member Committee to examine the legality and desirability of having and designing a separate flag for the State.
The Committee is headed by Kannada and Culture Department Principal Secretary. Heads of Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms, Finance and Law Departments and PWD are the members of the panel, which will hold consultation with experts and Kannada writers.
