Indian city dismissing ban in profusion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

galore

'in profusion' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'indian city dismissing ban' is the wordplay.
'indian city' becomes 'bangalore' (I've seen this before).
'dismissing' suggests deleting specific letters.
'bangalore' with 'ban' taken away is 'GALORE'.

(Other definitions for galore that I've seen before include "Lots of" , "Pussy ---, Bond girl" , "Existing in great numbers" , "to spare" , "Lo, Reg, a change could be in abundance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
