Description of the Flag

The flag of Northeast Province was a red-white-green tricolour with a golden sun centred on the central white band.
Anusha Wijetunga, 23 May 2002

The Northeast Province was split into the Eastern Province and the Northern Province on 27 May 2007. Originally they were two provinces. In 1983 they were merged to form the Northeastern Province and then in 27 May 2007 "un-merged" again.
