The Editorial while reminding that Dhanteras and Laxmi Pooja has already gone, said, "There are two days left for "Navvarsha" and "Bhaiyya Duj". However, due to slowdown, purchases in the markets have been 30 to 40 per cent lesser. Due to GST and Demonetisation, the economic situation is deteriorating day by day instead of improving."
