Ayodhya traders face a crisis; report a drop in pilgrim numbers.
The incident involving the theft of offerings at the Ram Mandir is no longer limited to the investigation alone; its impact is now being felt by local traders in Ayodhya. Shopkeepers selling *prasad*, garlands, and worship materials near the temple claim that the number of pilgrims has declined since the theft came to light, significantly affecting their business. Meanwhile, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) is actively investigating the matter, and the interrogation of the accused is ongoing.
