A day after the harrowing blast that shook the nation, the bustling streets of Chandi Chowk market stood silent and empty which would have otherwise been full of crowd. Usually, busy markets cleared of customers late in the night at the end of the working day during the wedding season.
Although the Khari Baoli spice market near Chandni Chowk market opened, but the bazaars remained deserted bearing the effect of the tragic incident. Traders and shopkeepers expressed concern over the loss of business also said that business was likely to remain affected for several weeks, PTI reported.
A shopkeeper in Lajpat Rai Market, Bachoo Choudhury said, “We work for two months–one day of work is equal to one month’s worth.”
Expressing concern over the situation, he added, “We have enough stock to last two months. The rest of the year, we sit idle as there isn’t much work. How will tourists come now? Our business depends mostly on them. When tourists don’t come, we are already at a loss, and all our stock will go bad.”
President of the Chandni Chowk Traders Association, Sanjay Bhargaw, had announced that the Chandni Chowk market will remain closed on Tuesday following the blast amid fear among traders.
