Hosur, Tamil Nadu, has been the premier destination for buying firecrackers for Bengalureans and people from other states for a very long time due to affordable prices, but the tide has swung towards the other side of the border as more cracker shops have blossomed in Karnataka, reports Deccan Herald.
Sales seem to have caught on at the border despite the confusion surrounding the Supreme Court’s order restricting the bursting of crackers during Deepavali. Bucking the trend, merchants in Karnataka seem to be doing better business than those of others states.
“We are reaching out to RWAs and creating awareness, with KSPCB officials. There will be patrolling on festival days, and anybody found bursting crackers beyond the stipulated time will be booked."
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
