Eid shopping picks up in Sukkur

SUKKUR: Eid shopping picked up momentum in the markets of Sukkur and Khairpur. The jubilant mood of young girls, women and youth is in full swing and shopping is gradually gearing up. Eid stalls have been set up, offering cosmetics, earrings, gleaming bangles, embroidered clothes, jewellery and colourful dresses.
The people of all age groups, including women and children, are busy in Eid shopping. Main focus of the people are towards the purchase of clothes and footwear. A larger number of makeshift shops have sprung up on almost all pavements of the city. Shopkeepers have raised the prices but many have displayed “Sale” signs to hoodwink customers. Women of all ages started visiting bazaars and shopping malls after Iftar. Their choicest shopping is clothes, shoes and bangles. The middle class and low-salaried employees did not have lavish Iftars this year.
