Traders receive major relief as demand rises in Kalol markets from Dhanteras

According to a report by Sandesh, enthusiasm for the Diwali festival is being witnessed in Kalol town and throughout the taluka. Due to weak demand at the beginning of the festive season, there was an atmosphere of concern among traders, but with the increase in customer footfall from the festival of Dhanteras on Friday, traders have received relief.

Over the last one week, the market situation was akin to a recession. Particularly in markets for items such as clothing, firecrackers, and electronics, a normal situation was observed, due to which traders were anxious. Similarly, normal transactions were also seen in the markets for groceries, sweets, farsan, food items, and decorative goods.

As most people in Kalol taluka are wage earners, the market boom depends on the salary dates of the GIDC. Activities such as cleaning, decoration, and painting in homes have intensified among the people. Currently, people are preparing to celebrate Diwali by lighting diyas. While a new wave of prosperity is being seen in the market on one hand, discussions regarding the fear of recession are also ongoing on the other.
