HYDERABAD : Masks are off, business down. It’s time for a reality check for traders sitting on unsold stocks of masks running into crores since the state officially allowed people to unmask.
Nearly ₹5 crore to ₹15 crore worth of masks are stockpiled in godowns across the city, according to wholesalers and retailers. Most traders are now on the horns of a dilemma — hold on or dispose them and cut their losses.
