Niagara Falls in Canada’s Ontario was lit up with the tricolours of the Indian National Flag for 30 minutes on 28 April as a display of solidarity and hope for India in its battle against Covid-19 Pandemic. The horseshoe shaped Falls was lit up in saffron, white and green from 9.30 pm-10 pm (local time).
This is not the first time that Niagra Falls has lit up in the tricolours. The Canadian landmark was previously lit up in the tricolour on the occasion of India’s 74th Independence Day in August 2020.
Niagara Parks took to Twitter to announce the event and used the hashtag #StayStrongIndia.
India is currently facing a surge in cases and losses of life resulting from COVID-19. In a display of solidarity and hope for India, Niagara Falls will be illuminated tonight from 9:30 to 10pm in orange, white and green, the colours of the flag of India. #StayStrongIndia pic.twitter.com/o0IIxxnCrk

A few days ago in UAE, prominent iconic buildings including Burj Khalifa, The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) headquarters, and Yas Island (Abu Dhabi’s premier leisure and entertainment hub) were lit up with the tricolour to show solidarity with India as the country deals with COVID-19 crisis.
