The weekly Sunday market witnessed heavy rush with people making purchases ranging from quilts to utensils.
The revocation of Article 370 and 35 A of the constitution on August 5 that conferred special status on Jammu And Kashmir State affected the market badly. Since August 5, the market witnessed usual hustle and bustle for the first time today.
A vendor told UNI that he had put up stall last week in the market, but the number of customers turning up was very disappointing. “Today I was reluctant to set up a stall, but fortunately the customers have come in good numbers to make purchase,” he added.
A customer Shabir Ahmad, a resident of uptown Srinagar, said he had come to purchase warm clothes for his family, but expressed disappointment over fewer verities available in the market. “Sunday market is the best option as good quality goods are sold with economic rates. People have no option but to make purchases of good, particularly warm cloths, as the winter is approaching,” he added.
The famous weekly market usually attracts thousands of customers from different parts of the valley. Business worth crores of rupees is done in the market every week in the market in which goods, ranging from a hairpin to carpets, are sold on economical rates.
