For Diwali, sale of local lamps affected by COVID

With one day left for Diwali, relatives of Hari Narayan Kumar, an occupant of Demow Kushal Path, are occupied with making earthen lights. Jay Prakash Kumar, child of Hari Narayan Kumar, said that his family had been in this calling since over 100 years in Demow and they were the main potters in Demow territory. He mourned the way that because of the COVID pandemic, they didn't get numerous requests for earthen lights, in contrast to the earlier years. During the lockdown, their representatives returned home. So now Jay and his siblings are making the earthen lights.
