Katyayani, a resident of Parijatha Apartments said “We got together to celebrate lights on Diwali and enjoyed it so very much. My son Nandan and other kids and toddlers were also enjoying lights instead of getting frightened by loud noises of crackers. We people of Parijatha are happy for taking this initiative and we would like to widen the commencement to others.”
