Mysuru: The Supreme Court has banned the sale of fire crackers in the nation’s capital Delhi and the surrounding National Capital Region. But, in a comparatively pollution-free atmosphere like Mysuru, the alarm bell has not started ringing yet, as people continue to buy firecrackers. However, due to ‘One nation, one tax’ and heavy rains in the past two months, the sellers of firecrackers are an anxious lot.
Most of the time, Deepavali comes in the month of November. This time it has come in the month of October itself. Added to this is the record rain that the city is experiencing and adding insult to injury is the hike in prices by 10 to 12 percent in the form of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
