Short supply due to unseasonal rain, floods in West Bengal
Paan lovers in Hyderabad are in for disappointment as supply of Calcutta Paan, favoured by the majority, has dried up due to unseasonal rain and floods in West Bengal.
Nawabi luncheons are incomplete without an exotic assortment of mouth freshers wrapped in Calcutta Paan. However, the mouth-melting luscious paans are now leaving a bitter taste as the prices have gone through the roof, says Syed Afzal Ali, a paan lover in Humayun Nagar.
