The Asian Games flag-hoisting ceremony, held at the Garden Pier near the athletes’ container-style lodging, is completed by several countries after an initial disruption. Multiple delegations, including India, finish the ceremony after it begins with a delay.
According to reports, the ceremony was originally scheduled to start at 1:30pm Japan time. It gets underway about 20 minutes late, after which participating countries proceed with the hoisting as planned. The accounts describe the disruption as causing the postponement, but do not specify any further technical or safety issues.
Across the outlets, the central points align: the location, the original start time, the length of the delay, and that countries complete the flag-hoisting once the event resumes. Both reports treat the disruption as temporary and focus on the ceremony’s completion rather than on subsequent proceedings.
