The recession witnessed in Vaghodia town over the last one week has now subsided. Following the distribution of bonuses to workers in GIDC estates and private companies, a shopping atmosphere has been observed in the markets for the last two days. According to a report by Sandesh, the markets of Vaghodia were overflowing with customers on the day of Kali Chaudas.
Townspeople shopped enthusiastically without worrying about inflation. The markets remained open from 10 am until late at night. A heavy demand for essential commodities was observed in the areas of Jayambhe Chaurasta, near Gandhi Udyan Bag, near Library Chaurasta, near the Old Post Office, and upper areas of Khandharod. In particular, heavy crowds of customers were seen at the shops of readymade garments, footwear, home decor items, sweets, and liquor stores.
Shopping was so extensive that at one point, traders did not even have time to speak with customers. Due to this last-minute rush in the market, traders appeared very happy.
