Local authorities in Jagran have restricted Diwali firecracker sales to just four shops at the Dushera Ground, impacting 27 traders.
In a move that has caused a stir among local merchants, authorities in Jagran have announced that only four shops will be permitted to sell firecrackers during the upcoming Diwali festival. This decision has been a setback for 27 traders who were expecting to set up their stalls as usual.
The designated area for these limited sales is the Dushera Ground, where the four authorized shops will be arranged. The restriction appears to be a regulatory measure to control the number of vendors operating during the festive season.
The news has been received with disappointment by the affected traders, who are now left without a platform to sell their inventory during the peak period. The local administration has finalized this arrangement to ensure order and compliance with safety or zoning norms.
