On one palm, footfalls have improved and same-store sales growth is even more powerful than June whereas, alternatively, the adverse thing is that there is actually an one-time create of around Rs 120 crore and it are going to be somewhat absorbed in Q2 and Q3.If you check out mid-term and long-term impact, at that point it's not positive.
