A low pressure over the Bay of Bengal is likely to bring rainfall over Tamil Nadu and Puducherry for the next two days. This low pressure is likely to intensify into a depression and cause scattered rainfall. Apart from having a wet Deepavali,the sale of crackers has turned out to be a damp squib. While textile showrooms are teeming with shoppers, firecracker shops are wearing a deserted look,leaving them worried.
A staff of the firecrackers showroom said that sale has been very dull and did not even reach half of last years sale.They are worried that they would be left with a huge unsold stock.However shoppers have a different story to say.They said that sale was dull due to steep increase in prices and also due to measures taken to control pollution.
