With the maximum temperature at 39 degrees Celsius that day, it seemed that the heat was already unbearable for him. Moreover, with hardly any takers for such services and products, especially amid rising inflation, day-time remains awfully dull for such vendors in these local markets.
Every next vendor or service provider in Delhi is complaining about the heat as well as the rising prices of several commodities. The only takers of any business in the city can be seen at a few juice outlets, sugarcane stalls and ice-cream stalls besides a few elderly people or health-conscious youngsters at the coconut water stall.
Vendors say that business has been average, and not many people step out. The bustling Amar Colony market only comes to life in the evening hours these days. Many businesses remain closed in daytime and open only in the evening after 4-5 pm.
