Srikanth Panjala (Thurrock Labour Councillor for Aveley & Uplands ward) was invited by the Indians in Thurrock community group to attend the Lohri, Makar Sankranthi and Pongal festival programme in Ockendon.
Indians in Thurrock is a vibrant and diverse group that comes together to celebrate our rich cultural heritage and create a sense of belonging in Thurrock. They said “We organise various events, fostering unity, friendship, and cultural exchange within our community“.
Srikanth said “It was wonderful to participate in this event and a great honour. I would like to appreciate the organisers’ effort and wish them all the best for their growth in the future“.
