I came here (Sarojini Nagar ) at around 10 a.m. and it has been more than four hours, but I have not been able to complete my shopping because the sales guys are so busy and the shops are so crowded that you have to wait at least 20 minutes for your turn.' Shaqib Jamal, a shopper who came to buy clothes for his family, told IANS.
'During Eid it's obvious that the crowds are at its peak and we make full efforts to utilise this opportunity and touch maximum sales every day and we get incentives for it,' Rajesh, a salesman in Sarojini Nagar, said.
Shop owners in South Extension have also expressed their delight at the increase in customers visiting their stores.
'There has been a great increase in customers in the last five days especially looking for kurtas and pyajamas to wear on Eid and the customers are ranging from 20 to 45 years of age. Silk kurtas are more in fashion this time,' Prabhjeet Singh, owner of the show room Kurta Palace in South Extension, told IANS. Singh expected a further increase in customers.
Elahana Moora, store manager at Globus in South Extension, says: 'We have seen a substantial increase in the number of customers in all ranges of products from clothing to households goods and feel it is all because of the festivals.'
