Business in Berhampur took a backseat on Tuesday as some traders in Bada Bazar, the wholesale market, shut down their shutters on counting day. The slow business was attributed to intense heat and the reduced footfall in the market due to the counting of votes. A trader in Bada Bazar area mentioned closing the shop due to these factors.
