Markets wear a dull look this Dhan Teras
The Hindu
‘Tuesday sentiment’ to blame, say jewellers
Commercial activity remained sluggish on the occasion of Dhanatrayodashi or Dhan Teras, an auspicious day in the Hindu calendar, in the city on Tuesday.
Jewellery showrooms witnessed underwhelming sales in the city, with merchants blaming the lacklustre sales on the ‘Tuesday sentiment’ — a widespread belief that Tuesday is not an ideal day for making new purchases.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
