Moderate celebrations for Hindus this year

KUALA LUMPUR: Hindus throughout the country observed Deepavali on a moderate scale with no major open houses, while for some in Selangor, the revelry was affected by water cuts.

The celebrations were markedly subdued out of respect for the six patients, including Hindu victims, who perished in Tuesday’s fire at the Hospital Sultanah Aminah in Johor Baru, and their families.
