Ahead of the Sabitri Amavasya festival, fruit prices have skyrocketed in the Padampur market. A single jackfruit is being sold for 400 to 500 rupees, while prices of mangoes, litchis, and apples have also seen a significant hike. Traders are sourcing fruits from Berhampur and Raipur. Despite high prices, markets are crowded with people purchasing new clothes and fruits for the ritual. The scarcity of local indigenous mangoes has also been noted this year. https://www.dharitri.com/fruit-prices-skyrocket-in-the-market-pansa-is-all/ #creator program
