A freedom march to celebrate the anniversary of the 72nd Indian Independence, will take place in Cardiff on August 15. Organised by Indian Honorary Consul Raj Aggarwal, several dignitaries like Lord Mayor Cllr Diane Elizabeth Rees, Cardiff City Council Cabinet member Russell Goodway and Indian businessman Sanjeev Gupta of Liberty Steel and Miss Wales Bethany Steel, are expected to be in attendance. Hundreds of people are foreseen on the parade which will start at the statue of Mahatma Gandhi near the Wales Millennium Centre and finish at Cardiff Castle with a flag raising ceremony.
