Justice Devan Ramachandran raised the issue for a second time when he said he had recently travelled to the state capital and saw numerous flag posts.

He made these remarks while hearing a petition seeking police protection for removing a flag post which was causing trouble.

At times there are skirmishes between them, and these flag posts become the target of attacks by rivals.
