After a year’s break, this Diwali, the Lokhandwala Vyapari Mandal in Andheri West has once again lit up the Lokhandwala market road, bringing back the light that had gone missing last year. The shop owners had told mid-day last year that the mandal did not put up lights owing to the loss of business because online shopping by people had reduced their in-shop sales.

But this year, in a clear sign that customers have returned to their beloved Lokhandwala market, shop owners have illuminated the entire 800-metre stretch of the Lokhandwala Complex road with string lights where the market is located.
