Indian Republic Day celebrations
Dubai: Indian expatriates in Dubai celebrated their nation's 62nd Republic Day on Wednesday.
This year, the celebrations were held at the Indian High School.
The event began with hoisting of the tricolour flag by Vayalar Ravi,  Minister of Overseas Indian affairs and Civil Aviation, in the presence of Sanjay Verma, the Consul General of India to UAE. As the Indian flag unfurled to the tune of the national anthem, patriotic fervour filled the air.
The consul general then read out extracts from the Indian President Pratibha Patil's address to the nation on the eve of the republic day, to community members of all ages and sections of the society gathered at the school. It was followed by a march past and performance by the Indian High School children.
The event was themed as ‘The celebration of India… of Indian High School… Jai Ho!'
