'Little India' abuzz with last-minute Deepavali shoppers

A Bernama survey in several locations nationwide found shoppers busy buying basic essentials to enliven the 'Festival of Lights' atmosphere after quieter celebrations in previous years due to movement controls to curb the spread of the Covid-19 infection in the country.
