It’s the weekend after Eid and I am doing the rounds of Old Delhi to get a feel of what sold and what didn’t during the month of Ramzan. While during Ramzan most shops in Old Delhi are open till late at night, business picks up in the last 15 days leading up to Eid. Wazir Ahmad, who owns a garment shop in the market says, “This Ramzan many came to our shops to check out the dresses. But very few ended up buying our items.”Saba Kalam, who owns a showroom of designer dresses in Batla House says, “I have been hearing that Batla House market in general is not happy with sales this Ramzan. Mutton was being sold in the area at Rs 500 per kg, chicken for Rs 250/kg and beef for Rs 200 throughout Ramzan.
