Enhanced safe management measures will be in place in Little India in the lead-up to Deepavali to prevent overcrowding, the authorities said yesterday.
Barriers will be put up at the popular pedestrian crossing at the junction of Campbell Lane and Serangoon Road between 6pm and 1am from Oct 29 to 31, said the Singapore Tourism Board (STB).
The same crossing will also be blocked off from 6pm on Nov 3, the eve of Deepavali, to 2am the next day.
This is as more visitors are expected in Little India in the run-up to the Festival of Lights.
