9-member committee constituted by Karnataka govt. has recommended separate state flag and It submitted report on designing separate flag for the state and providing a legal standing for it.
The committee has recommended new tricolour having yellow (at top), white (in middle) and red (at bottom) colours, with state’s emblem Gandaberunda (a two-headed mythological bird) in centre.
After getting formal state Cabinet approval, state govt. will make a formal application to Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) under whose purview the issue falls to amend the Flag Code 2002.
There is No Provision in Constitution for a state Flag.
However Jammu and Kashmir is only state having its own flag as it enjoys special powers under Article 370 of Constitution. It had adopted its own flag in 2015.
