Cllr Hazel
Simmons MBE, Leader of Luton Council, said: “The tragic events and loss of
innocent lives in Indian-administered and Pakistan-administered Kashmiri
regions and in parts of Pakistan over the last couple of weeks have affected
many in our community. Last night’s attacks will be particularly distressing
as they took place in an area that is home to family and friends of many
people in Luton.
