One major contributor to the economic activity of the town is the remittances of the overseas contract workers. Although there is no figure as to how much goes into local economy it is very visible that the town does not have enough local business establishments and the thriving transport industry would prove true the assumption that most of the money from remittances of the OCW are spent elsewhere.
