The Indian High Commission in London celebrated the 80th Independence Day with the 'Suryapath Tiranga' global digital relay, where the tricolour was sequentially hoisted across over 50 missions from Fiji to San Francisco, following the rising sun. High Commissioner P Kumaran highlighted the diaspora's achievements and the recently implemented India-UK free trade agreement. Separately, the relay began at dawn in Suva, Fiji, with High Commissioner Mehta reading President Murmu's message. The campaign is part of the Har Ghar Tiranga 2026 celebrations, aiming to unite Indians worldwide.
