Massive sales in Rangpur markets ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr

Business Desk :
Although about 13 days are left ahead of the holy Eid-ul-Fitr, different markets and shopping centers are currently witnessing massive sales of Eid items amid huge rush of buyers in Rangpur city.
Despite the global crises caused by the Russia-Ukraine War, buyers are purchasing Eid items well ahead of the holy festivity to avoid last moment traffic jams and unbearable rush amid comparatively hot and humid weather in Eid shopping centres.
Eid shopping has already got momentum at all bigger markets, shopping malls and complexes and makeshift markets amid tight security measures.
President of Rangpur Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Industry Md. Rezaul Islam Milon said selling of Eid items is marking a better business following increase of incomes of common people despite the prevailing global crises.
“The business places have worn festive looks with rushing enthusiastic men, women, adolescents, housewives, girls, boys, students and youths and buying items of their own choice,” he said.
Rangpur Metropolitan Police control room sources said security measures, special traffic management and monitoring of the law and order situation have been tightened to enable common people marketing without untoward incidents in the city.
According to market sources, prices of clothes for males, females, babies and children are almost 30 to 40 percent higher this time than the previous years though the increased prices have factually no impact on purchasing capacity of buyers.
Eid shoppers are rushing daily to Rangpur Super Market, RMAC Shopping Complex, City Plaza, Salek Market, Jamal Market, ‘Shah Amanat’, ‘Rajanigandha’, Station Market, Rajiv Gandhi Market, Honumantola Market, Jahaz Company Shopping Complex, ‘Karupannya’, Moti Plaza, Maya Exclusive Fashion House, ‘Adi Janata’, Bismillah Garments, Madina Garments, Golden Tower, ‘Rangan’, ‘Zila Parishad Biponi Bitan’ and other markets, shopping malls and centres in the city.
