05 Oct 2022: The owners of many sweet shops across Agartala said the mishti sale this Dashami was far higher than the last year’s Durga Puja.
Proprietors of some shops said the sale was even higher than Dashami 2019, forcing them to churn out sweets at least four times a day, compared with the usual practice of producing the delicacies twice a day to meet the high demand on special occasions.
The spurt in demand persists and owners feel it is going to continue for the next few days.
Last Dashami, and days thereafter, had witnessed hardly enough sales for many medium and small sweet shops to remain open throughout the day.
Apart from the usual fares of rasogolla, Jillebi and Burunda, the various avatars of sandesh are most in demand.
Apart from the demand from buyers visiting our shops, orders from online aggregators have remained high.
Many shop owners are partly attributing the surge in sales to the demand for sweets among those who visited the city on the occasion of the Puja and are now returning home or to their place of work.
