Ban on crackers in Delhi will see wholesalers dumping stock in Punjab
“Our super stockists in Delhi are offering discounts on crackers exceeding 20 per cent, and with down payments in cash, it touches 36 per cent over and above the discount,” said Ravdeep Singh, a wholesale dealer, from Ludhiana.
In a damage-control mode, Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) chief Kahan Singh Pannu said: “We propose to add taxes so the discounts fail to attract buyers.”
A “green Diwali” campaign kicks off tomorrow.
