Frequent spells of rain hit Deepavali business
The Hindu
The worst affected are the pavement vendors
Intermittent rain has hit textile business hard in Tiruchi. With just three days left for Deepavali, the last Sunday prior to the festival is considered the peak business period in a year. It is then that shoppers throng in large numbers to buy dress materials for their loved ones.
Though scepticism prevails among textile traders on achieving their target this year due to the poor purchasing power among the people in the wake of unprecedented job loss due to COVID-19 pandemic, the traders have piled up stocks to cash in on the basic demand in the festival season. But continuous rain is playing spoilsport.
