HYDERABAD: The Indian community in London which organised a programme as part of the festivities has thanked the NHS, key workers and Covid-19 warriors through an artwork of the London Tower Bridge put up at an event.
The Telangana Association of United Kingdom (TAUK) celebrated “Chenetha Bathukamma and Dasara” in London. NRIs and Indian Community organisations representatives from across the UK attended this event.
British MPs Virendra Sharma and Seema Malhotra along with Hounslow Mayor Bishnu Gurung attended as special guests.
TAUK vice president Shusmuna Reddy said special emphasis was laid on encouraging people to wear handlooms through organising the festivities as this is being promoted by Telangana IT minister K T Rama Rao.
Founder of TAUK Anil Kurmachalam said while the events were organised to encourage weavers back home in India and to impress upon the Indian community to wear handlooms this year, the Indian community felt it was also appropriate they thank the National Health Services in UK (NHS), the key workers and Covid-19 warriors. “Without their commitment, coming together with the community to hold celebrations would not have been impossible,” he said. At the London Tower bridge artwork which was put up at the programme read: Thank you NHS and key workers.
