WITH COVID-19 restrictions no longer in place, Hindus and other residents of Region Two celebrated Phagwah together on Tuesday. They were seen in their numbers in the streets with water guns, buckets of water and bottles of coloured powder. The day’s activities commenced as early as 06:00 hours with the smearing of the ashes from the burnt holika on each other’s face. Phagwah services were held at various temples at different times throughout the morning. Minister of Local Government and Regional Development with parliamentary responsibilities for Region Two, Nigel Dharamlall, was on hand to partake in the celebrations and he used the opportunity to extend best wishes to everyone for the season.
