Diwali Trend

Sector 17 in 2003, was the first place in Chandigarh to start a prize-giving trend during Diwali season. Later, Sector 22, Sector 34, and Sector 19 also started it. The daily prizes included Mixer Grinders, Blenders etc. , while the mega prize included a Mahindra Scorpio, Hyundai Accent and Tata Safari. The mega prizes were changed every year after then. The initial response was outstanding as there were millions people taking part in the Big Game. Later, after 3-4 years, it started to fade out, and the 2007 bombings in various parts of india, proved to be a major reason that people started to attend it less. The prize ceremony officially ended in Sector 17 in 2006. The market was back to its normal self in 2007 and there were no prizes in 2007, 2008 and 2009. However, the market association plans to revive the Big Scene in 2010.
