The Hindu
We find it difficult to even purchase raw materials, say those running the units
Families in Sellur, who eke out a living by making traditional snacks, have been severely affected due to the imposition of intense lockdown. With almost no sales during the lockdown period, the families are on the verge of starvation. Those involved in the business say that it is a cottage industry where they make murukku, thattai and other snacks. These snacks are sold at shops in Madurai district and neighbouring Sivaganga and Virudhunagar districts.More Related News
