New York City was getting absolutely wrecked by a winter storm — icy roads, chaos everywhere — and right in the middle of it all, the Indian Consulate said, “Flag hoisting must go on.” ❄️

Consul General Binaya Srikanta Pradhan led the ceremony like a true pro, proving that not even a full-blown blizzard can cancel patriotism. The message was clear: snowstorms may slow the city, but the Indian diaspora is still out here building a “Developed India” — one frozen flagpole at a time.
