He says that this year the business of more than 20 thousand crores was done across the country. He said that this time not only the traders but also the common people have completely boycotted the Chinese made goods. Actually, this time people are celebrating the festival of Holi for two days in the country. Holi was celebrated in Delhi and some other areas on March 18, whereas in states like Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal, Holi is being celebrated today i.e. on March 19.
Every year about 10 thousand crore rupees were imported into the country.

In Delhi itself, more than 3 thousand Holi Milan celebrations, including small and big
While the general business suffered more due to the Corona restrictions, the hospitality business in particular was almost over. This year after the end of the Corona ban, Holi celebrations were organized on a large scale across the country including Delhi. Due to this there was an influx of organizing Holi celebrations in banquet halls, farm houses, hotels, restaurants and public parks. This sector has done good business after two years. He said that in Delhi alone, more than 3 thousand Holi Milan celebrations were organized, including small and big. There is a new happiness and enthusiasm in the faces of the people involved in all the programs.
