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.
