NO MITHAI, LITERALLY...

Empty shelves of a mithai dokan in Gangtok, the entire kitchen staff having fled town in the wake of the 18 September Earthquake. It’s not just hydel projects which have seen their workers quit and flee. In many cases, shop-owners have followed their workers, not in flight, but in the hope that they can convince them to return in time to cater to the demand for sweets which spikes in the approaching season of festivals.
