Actual Results
Accessible name has been defined for <table> element even though same heading defined for the table content. As a result, screen reader users will face difficulty while navigating through table due to redundant announcement.
Expected Results
If visual heading or text is provided to the table that summarises the table content then accessible name is no more required.
In this scenario, Remove the aria-label from the <table> element.
Code Snippet
<table> (...) </table>
