Heavy rain affected the opening day of an annual fair, keeping visitors away and impacting sales at stalls. A shamiana at the entrance collapsed early in the morning, but no casualties were reported. The fair is an eight-day event that follows nine days of religious services at a basilica. Stall owners are worried about recovering their expenses due to poor footfall.

Stall owners are concerned about making a profit, with one vendor noting that Sundays are usually the busiest day. Higher stall costs are also a concern. The poor turnout on the first day has left many worried about the rest of the event.

Further details about the fair and its impact on stall owners are available from the source.
