Rush for Crackers
Mysuru: As Deepavali approaches, the sale of firecrackers has surged in Mysuru, with bustling wholesale cracker stalls drawing large crowds. This morning, shoppers flocked to the Hebbal Industrial Area, eager to purchase their festive supplies.
While a few stalls are set up at J.K. Grounds, J.L.B. Road, Kuvempunagar, Lalitha Mahal Road and Boothale Pitch, they did not attract significant crowds. In contrast, the wholesale market at Hebbal Industrial Area witnessed impressive sales, with approximately 80 to 100 buyers at each stall.
The area boasts of over 25 cracker stalls and customers began arriving as early as 8 am. However, the influx of shoppers led to traffic jams, as heavy vehicles carrying industrial equipment became stuck on the roads, obstructed by cars and SUVs parked along both sides.
Representatives from Hebbal Industrial Area Crackers Traders Association assured customers that even crackers manufactured in Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu, have been fully converted to green alternatives, allowing for celebrations without contributing to air pollution.
