In the market of the Nawabs, Lucknow, which used to stay in the market till late night, now there is silence in the day. Coronavirus has changed the appearance of markets. After being closed for more than two months, when the market opened, it did not look as bright as before. There are neither customers, nor employees nor shops are opening in a manner. Businessmen who have also opened shops are worried about not subscribing and getting stuck.
If there are no customers, then shops are also opening for Khanapuri. More than half of the shops in the market of Hazratganj area are closed due to shortage of customers and staff and the markets of Aminabad, which have been closed for several weeks due to being close to the Containment Zone, did not even open last week. In the markets of Aminabad and adjoining Ganeshganj, Fatehganj, Raniganj, there was a turnover of Rs 200 crore daily, which has now come down to Rs 30-40 crore.
There is a bullion market in the old chowk of the city, where there is no gate and the shopping of Sahalag in Bajaj has collapsed. There is no business of Rs 40 lakh in the bullion market with a daily turnover of Rs 40 crore. According to the traders, for fear of Coronavirus, the buyers are going to the branded jewelery showroom by skipping the tight markets of the Chowk. Saraf is upset that Sahalag goes into lockdown, gold and silver are still expensive, and jewelers return to their homes, who will not return soon.
In Fatehganj Galla Mandi, it is exciting, but the retail customers of flour, rice and pulses shops. Traders say that instead of coming to the market for fear of the virus, people are buying goods from the nearby grocer shops. They are also struggling with shortage of goods as the transportation facility has not been restored. There are many problems for businessmen. There are no employees, there is no movement of goods, the price is high, the previous advance is stuck, there is a shortage of capital. Where the goods are ordered, the advance before the lockdown is stuck and new goods are not available on the borrowings. Business leader Gulshan Arora said that about Rs 1,200 crore of the readymade textile traders of Lucknow are stuck with the manufacturers in Delhi and Rs 2,000 crore advance of the drug dealers is stuck.
Merchant leaders say that the long-fourth economic package did not affect retail traders. The traders, who have been suffering for two months, were not included in the relief package. New government directives on it have made it difficult to do business. From all the government departments to the police, it investigates the shops as if Inspector Raj has returned. Sweets traders are opening their nominal shops because of this.
The malls opened from Monday, but the shops did not open on the first day. The traders there demand that the rent and maintenance charges during the lockdown be waived and some cuts should also be made for the next 12 months. Chairman of Adarsh Vyapar Mandal, Sanjay Gupta said that how can anyone pay huge rent and fee if the business is completely closed for two months. It must be forgiven. Though some shops have started opening in the mall, the business is at a standstill as customers are returning only by inquiring.
