India, Oct. 28 -- The organisers of the 'Emirates Loves India' community event in Dubai have issued a public apology after more than 100,000 people packed into Zabeel Park on Sunday, forcing authorities to shut the entry gates for safety reasons.

The event, organised by the 'Emirates Loves India' initiative in partnership with the UAE Government Media Office, marks the second consecutive year of honouring the deep cultural ties and longstanding friendship between India and the UAE. The cultural extravaganza, headlined by Neha Kakkar, Mika Singh, Neeraj Madhav and Nabeel Khan, featured music shows, regional performances, exhibitions and food stalls showcasing India's linguistic and cultural diversity.
