Last minute shopping in markets

The Dhaka Times Desk One more day left for Eid. Already, last minute shopping has accumulated in the markets. Although people are less inclined to buy clothes because of Eid al-Adha.

The capital is now largely empty as people go home for Eid. The streets of the capital are now almost empty. However, there is traffic congestion in the areas where there are markets, especially Newmarket, Dhanmondi, Mouchak, Mirpur-1, 10 and several areas. However, in other areas such as Motijheel, several areas are now almost empty. Only some private offices remain open. Although the government holiday started yesterday (Thursday), the launch ghat, bus terminal and Kamalapur railway station were crowded today. Most of the people have left the capital for the past two days. Only those with advance tickets are still in the capital. They will leave the capital today and tomorrow.

The capital's shopping malls are still crowded. Walking around the New Market area, every shop is crowded with shoppers. Especially the gold shop at Chandnichak Chowk was also crowded. On the other hand, Dhanmondi's Rapa Plaza and Arang were also crowded. However, after going to Arang, it was found that many good items were sold out. Many have come back after looking online and buying. Especially children's clothes have been sold more this time. Although the price is relatively high, many people go from this market to the market for clothes. But the biggest irony was going to the beehive market. Because the road to beehive market was almost closed due to the flyover, buyers from far and wide could not go to the beehive market.

Like last time, the crowd at Bashundhara market was quite noticeable. Although this market is for the upper class. But the middle class does not go here. Many middle class are also seen to market in this elite shopping mall Bashundhara City.

These markets are crowded with shops selling sarees, bird thrips, children's wear, women's jewelery and imitation goods. However, because it is Qurbani Eid, shopping is a little less. Because everyone is busy buying cows. However, those who can afford it are flocking to the markets.
