KUALA Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) says its move to take full control of this year’s Deepavali bazaar, including lots in front of shops in Little India, Brickfields, is part of a policy to centralise the management of all festive bazaars.
A DBKL spokesperson said the directive, issued last year by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa, required all festive bazaars to be run directly by DBKL without the involvement of associations or third parties.
