schools remain shut

Santacruz-based uniform manufacturer Mahesh Parmar is faced with a dilemma – he has thousands of school uniforms stocked in his godown and shops, but barely any customers so far. In November 2019, Parmar had started planning for the upcoming academic year (2020-21). With thousands of pre-orders lined up, he hoped to begin selling uniforms from April, as most schools reopen either in April or June. However, with the growing cases of Covid-19 in the city and the resultant lockdown, Parmar was unable to sell most of the uniforms this year.
