KUALA LUMPUR – Deepavali is known as the Festival of Lights, but Covid-19 has cast a shadow on the celebration this time around.

With the conditional movement control order extended to December 6 and covering most of the peninsula, as well as Sabah, the gloom is felt not only by Hindus, but also traders.
