Shopping up, but sales still muted in Ahmedabad

The festive season has arrived and the markets are gradually looking abuzz with people. However, this year’s festival season comes with warnings of wearing masks, taking precautions and observing social distancing. The situation prompted PM Narendra Modi in his address to the nation, to advise people to remain wary while celebrating festivals, to keep themselves safe from contracting Covid-19. While streets of the city, be it CG Road, SG Road, Prahladnagar, Bodakdev or even the traditional markets in the Walled City at Teen Darwaza, Manek Chowk and Lal Darwaza and malls are witnessing more footfall, but sales have failed to reach usual festive season levels, or even that of pre-Covid days.
