India is coming back to normalcy, after fighting high rates of Covid cases. In spite of the fact that the limitations have been reduced in light of the country’s economy, North India will remain closed on Sunday.
As Maharashtra opens, Mumbai felt emancipated as the lockdown restriction was lifted and markets are now open till 10 p.m. every day of the week. The moment is felt on the streets, and the market was buzzing with activity once more. People were observed travelling throughout the city wearing masks as a preventative measure. Though Delhi and Uttar Pradesh too are spared of lockdown, the states are nevertheless subjected to be under lockdown on Sundays.
Lockdowns have continuously dampened the spirit of celebration, thereby immensely affecting the mithai and namkeen market sales during festivals.
The mithai and namkeen industry is delighted by this unlock process. However, the industry believes that the approaching Sundays of this month should be exempted from shutdown because the 15th of August (Independence Day) and 22nd August (Raksha Bandhan) are scheduled on those dates.
