Sale boosts in Sweets Shops on the occasion of Dashami in Agartala
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.

The accused is politically associated with the Trinamool Party. The accused claimed that he was in no way connected with the incident. Accused’s counter-allegation is that they are trying to frame him with false accusations. A written complaint has already been lodged in the police station on behalf of the family of the deceased old lady Aju Raut. The family members claim that not only the person but also the local Trinamool leader Shiv Shankar Ghosh has a secret conspiracy in this incident.
According to local residents, on the morning of the Saptami, the accused came to his father-in-law’s house with his nephew. It is learned that the man’s divorce case was already going on with the accused’s wife. The accused person came to the wife to pressurize her to withdraw the case. His name is Sheikh Feroze.
While asking to withdraw the case too, the discussion continued between his wife and Feroze on various issues. Arguments turn into fights. The mother-in-law of the accused rushed to save the girl after seeing the girl being beaten in front of her eyes. Feroze did not leave the old woman at that time. He started beating the old woman with a stick and that’s why the old woman died.
