BHOPAL: Raksha Bandhan brought smiles on the faces of shopkeepers after two years of Covid as the crowd increased in the market exponentially in the past week. From Old City to the new part of the state capital, roads were in full swing for the purchase of the festival.
However, rains played the spoilsport as shopkeepers were expecting business worth more than Rs 25 crore, but it was restricted to Rs 20 crore this year.
