But customer footsteps are quite low compared to 2019 and other years as a large part of the community still have not received a return power,” The owner of the vastralaya owner in the top bazaar.
“The state government does not allow clothing stores to open for business on Sundays as a preventative step to examine the possibility of a surge in case.
This has reduced sales for the most part,” Modi added.

However, 2020 turned out to be a forgotten year for a 1.100-strange clothing store here as a cumulative sale dipped around 70%.

Most buyers usually start puja shopping after expensive (which falls on October 6).
So there is still time to recover business,” Suresh Malhotra, owner of Kashmir Vastralaya , tell Toi.
But more than Durga Puja, the owner of the city clothing store is a banking in the wedding season to redeem the decline in their sales.
