A Hindu temple in Canada's Brampton, near Toronto, has cancelled its life certificate event by the Indian Consulate stating "extremely high and imminent threat level of violent protests". The consular camp, planned for November 17, was set to offer Indian-origin Hindus and Sikhs a chance to renew essential life certificates.

"Please be advised that the Life Certificate Event scheduled at Brampton Triveni Mandir by the Indian Consulate on November 17, 2024, has been cancelled. This is due to official intelligence from Peel Regional Police, stating that there is an Extremely High and Imminent Threat Level of violent protests," Brampton Triveni Community Centre said in a statement.
