TOI - Delhi · india

Firecracker shops are experiencing significantly lower footfalls this year, with sales yet to pick up. High prices are a major deterrent for potential buyers, making the festive purchases unaffordable for many. Additionally, persistent cloudy skies and the threat of rain are discouraging people from buying and bursting firecrackers. This situation is causing concern among shopkeepers who had stocked up in anticipation of the festive season. The festive spirit seems dampened by these economic and environmental factors.
