NCIC: Divali Nagar successful, incident-free

The final night of the Divali Nagar in Chaguanas on October 19 was a resounding success, despite adverse weather conditions that caused temporary flooding. Surujdeo Mangaroo, president of the National Council for Indian Culture (NCIC), expressed his delight at the large turnout, particularly among young people and families. He emphasized the event’s incident-free nature and the organization’s commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all attendees. Mangaroo noted that while the flooding was a minor setback, it was quickly managed, and the event proceeded smoothly. He also mentioned the absence of the Prime Minister, who has traditionally attended the closing night, but acknowledged her continued support for cultural events. Mangaroo extended his gratitude to all participants, including vendors, service providers, and the media, for their contributions to the successful celebration of Divali.
