Simply why? Why? Poverty because they have no money to spend on cracers, fuel to travel or heavily taxed alcohol to consume.

Exactly. People are not spending on items they can’t afford any longer. Priority is to have 3 square meals, school expenses, medical expenses etc. The joyous mood is curtailed which is stressful and leading to mental issues.

People did what they had to do! The ordinary person, not so called ‘rich’ or politicians, yesterday only shopping places were open and they were packed. One main reason was the auspicious time! First time in my life I was asleep when the main cracker lighting time came. Had a peaceful meal the following morning.

The people did not have money to eat, let alone buying fire crackers.
