Jewellers worried due to restrictions; Officials say genuine buyers need not panic
Mysuru, Apr. 17 (PM&BCT)- Tomorrow (Apr. 18) is Akshaya Tritiya and buying valuables including gold, diamond and silver on that day is considered auspicious. Thanks to the Assembly election, this time, however, high-value gold purchases will be monitored by the Election Commission (EC) as there is a strong suspicion that candidates will use the occasion to hand out gold pendants, nose rings, ear-rings and other ornaments as freebies to voters.
