Protests take a bite out of retail, F&B businesses ahead of Durga Puja

Quick Summary:

A research commissioned by the British Council at the behest of the West Bengal tourism department pegged the total economic worth of the creative industries around the festival at Rs 32,377 crore (figures estimated around the 2019 Durga Puja).

The F&B business is badly hit — down by about 30 per cent from usual sales, as guests are avoiding stepping out due to daily protests in various pockets and the overall mood.

At the receiving end are retail and food & beverages (F&B) businesses, especially with Durga Puja round the corner.“This is peak time for puja sales.
