Chandigarh and Mohali Markets Enhance Festive Displays Ahead of Diwali
Chandigarh's Sector 17 Plaza and Mohali markets are enhancing their festive appeal for Diwali with new decorations and preparations. Sector 17 features a Japanese-inspired cherry blossom light display with around 20,000 digital lights, funded by local traders aiming to attract visitors amid competition from malls. Meanwhile, Mohali markets across several sectors anticipate a 30-40% increase in footfall, with festive clothing, home decor, and unique items like candle-powered spinners adding to the shopping experience. Traffic and parking management remain key concerns for traders.
