Cracker of business this Deepavali for vendors
Mysuru: This year’s Deepavali was cheerful for the vendors and wholesalers as they recorded a massive business compared to previous two years. Deepavali being one of the important festivals to Hindu community, people were seen thronging shops at various locations across the city to purchase crackers.
The sale of crackers was such that, most of the shops had to purchase additional stocks from the wholesalers to meet the demand of the customers. Meanwhile, Hebbal Industrial Area was abuzz with activities with people all over the city and surrounding towns arriving in large numbers to buy crackers.
People were seen arriving in large numbers at cracker shops on JLB Road in Chamundipuram, J.K. Ground, Bhootale Ground, Bogadi, Kuvempunagar and other locations. The sale of crackers in the shops that began on Oct. 28 ended on Nov. 3.
This year, the authorities had instructed to sell only green crackers and so did the vendors. The cracker boxes had barcodes and symbol to confirm them being green crackers. This year, cracker varieties were more compared to previous years. With a lot of rules being in place for the bursting of crackers, one had thought the sales would not be of expected level. However, with people thronging the shops and godowns in large numbers the sales were more beyond expectations.
