COVID-19 pandemic and bad weather worsen kite sales in Amritsar

With the Lohri festival around the corner, the kite makers in Punjab's Amritsar are facing losses due to COVID-19 pandemic situation coupled with bad weather.

Every year, Punjab celebrates the festival of Lohri on January 13.

Even though things are getting back on track, kite business continues to suffer ahead of Lohri.

Apart from the pandemic and lockdown, now the weather has also added to their plight.

With children not stepping out, sales witnessed a massive dip.
