Sirsa potters' families receive orders for 2 crore diyas ahead of Diwali

Around 80 potter families in Sirsa, Haryana, have received orders for nearly 2 crore earthen diyas ahead of Diwali, up from 1.5 crore last year. Over 95 lakh diyas have already been delivered across Delhi, Chandigarh, Punjab, Rajasthan and Haryana. Families are working 10–14 hours daily amid rising costs of clay, sawdust, labour and fuel.
