Leicester’s Diwali celebrations scaled back; police probe Ganesh Chaturthi procession

Leicester's Diwali celebrations are significantly scaled back this year due to public safety concerns raised by a safety advisory group, leading to the cancellation of the Diwali village, stage show, and fireworks. The decision follows a record attendance of 55,000 people last year and concerns about overcrowding and emergency access. Via Times of India https://ift.tt/w3LGSlU
