In Deoria, the firecracker market did not see the expected buzz this time on the occasion of Diwali. Customers’ purchases have been affected as firecracker prices have risen by about 25 to 30 per cent compared with last year. Until afternoon, crowds in the market remained low and the movement of buyers at shops appeared below normal.
Due to the impact of inflation, people are buying firecrackers in limited quantities. Many customers are purchasing items according to their budgets and are taking fewer firecrackers than before. Shopkeepers had expected more customers to reach the market on the festival day, but business has remained slow because of the rise in prices.
According to traders, the increase in firecracker prices has affected customers’ purchasing budgets. They now hope that the number of customers in the market will rise in the evening and sales will improve.
