Sangre Grande Regional Corporation’s (SGRC) Divali celebration, the biggest ever in the Eastern town, came to an abrupt end when police moved in, stating that the time approved for the programme had expired.
The street parade was scheduled to begin at 5 pm and end at 6 pm, but no time was allocated for the cultural programme, which only started around 7 pm. It came to a premature halt at approximately 8.45 pm when police advised chairman of the SGRC, Kenwyn Phillip, that the show must end.
