shoppers n shopkeeprs being effected!!

[sadia]

The decision to close the markets at 8.00 pm is really effecting the business all over... tthough the load shedding hours are reduced to some xtent but this is not the permanant solution to the problem!! Both the shoppers and the shopkeepers are being effected... No shopper go out for shopping in such a hot weather .. n when the plan to go out its just 1 to 2 hours left.. which r the peak hours.. n ultimately its always the consumer whose gonna be effected... reducing 5 to 6 hours to just 2 obviously s effecting the business...
hope the high officials could find a better and permanent solution to this!!! while we keep exposing the problems...

Small businesses are the worst hit.


I own a small shop selling things like headbands, hair clips, catchers, ribbons, combs and hairbrushes, imitation jewelry, and such products. Most of my customers are female students. Obviously, they are in school in the early of the day, do their shopping in the evening hours.


Afternoons are very hot in time of the year. People usually come out for shopping in the evening.


This 8 p. m. business shut down order leaves only around two hours for people to shot and shopkeepers like me to earn their bread.

Something should be done about this. Small businessmen like me are being very badly affected by this order.
