Leicester's Diwali festival under threat as council can't afford the costs

Leicester's Diwali celebrations, famously the largest outside India, might be canceled due to financial constraints faced by the city council.

The two-day event features an impressive switch-on of 6,000 LED lights shaped like diyas along the Golden Mile, alongside stage performances, fair rides, and fireworks two weeks before Diwali.

T20 WC: Nortje shines as SA cruise to commanding win over SL

Anrich Nortje dismantled Sri Lanka with career-best figures of 4/7, leading South Africa to a six-wicket victory in their T20 World Cup opener on Monday by capitalizing on the available bounce.
