DEFERRED CELEBRATIONS, DAMPENED SALES

The need for social distancing amidst the pandemic has dampened celebrations and big gatherings, resulting in a wane in sales of associated decorations and accessories. Wholesale shops such as this one in Bokshir Haat of Chattogram city are witnessing a drop in daily sales to Tk 4,000-Tk 5,000 whereas once they were recording up to Tk 30,000-Tk 35,000.
