Over 15 gurdwaras have joined hands to organise the 'langar' along the 30-mile Olympics torch route from Greenwich Park to Waltham Forest Town Hall. The 'langar' along the route will serve 'roti rolls' from 7 am to 8 pm in the London borough of Waltham Forest, organisers said. Fauja Singh will be the star carrier of the Olympics torch on the day.
