The spotting of the flags created a situation of hue-and-cry in the regions, and the local authorities were informed, who promptly removed the flags.

It may be mentioned here that the separatist outfit has been observing November 28 as Pratibad Divas (or Protest Day) ever since the outfit was banned by the Government of India.
