Two separate flags for the Northern and Eastern provinces were unveiled last week in Trincomalee. Rear Admiral Mohan Wijewickrema, Governor of the Eastern Province and acting Governor of the Northern Province, handed over the Northern Province flag to the council’s Chief Secretary S. Rangarajah, and the Eastern Province flag to its Chief Secretary Herat Abeyeweera at a ceremony on Tuesday at the Governor's Secretariat.

The new flag for the north has the symbol sun in the middle of the flag.

This flag is the same as the old flag of the Northeast Province (before May 2007).

The site at http://www.np.gov.lk/pdf/Flag.pdf shows this as a 1:2 flag.
