Traditional flag-hoisting ceremony held after delay at Asian Games

The traditional flag-hoisting ceremony at the Asian Games 2026, involving India among other countries, was held in Japan's Nagoya on Friday. The ceremony was delayed, leaving the Indian contingent waiting. India's Chef de Mission, Sahdev Yadav, said the chief guest hadn't arrived, which appeared to have caused the delay. However, organisers cited "some trouble with a team" as the reason.
