Warm clothes traders doing brisk business in Rajshahi

The traders of warm clothes are passing busy time in Rajshahi as cold weather has been prevailing in the northern region for the last few days.

Due to cold wave and chill weather, sale of winter clothes has increased, both in the different posh markets and roadside makeshift shops of the city.
Rich people are going to the posh shops of New Market and Saheb Bazaar RDA Market and various shopping malls to buy there warm clothes like sweaters, jackets, cardigans, woolen caps etc.
On the other hand, people with low income are crowding the roadside shops to buy second-hand warm clothes to protect themselves from the cold.
Monirul Islam, owner of a shop at a roadside market near Zero Point of Saheb Bazaar, said I have sold a number of second-hand warm clothes. Demand for used warm clothes is much higher than the new ones. 
He further said, low and fixed income group people including rickshaw- pullers, day labourers and ordinary employees of different government and private organisations are crowding his shop.
Mohsin Ullah, a day labourer of Godagari upazila who was visiting a footpath cloth store near Rajshahi railway station, informed he had bought a sweater for his daughter at a cost of Tk 300.
He said that price of warm clothes are higher than the last year. It was very hard for people like him to purchase warm clothes by spending such an exorbitant price.
Hashem Sheikh, owner of Sheikh Cloth Store of RDA market said he sells first-hand warm clothes including jeans jackets, sweaters, cardigans, woolen blazers.
He further informed that well-off people, especially youths, are buying these items from his shop as their quality and designs are good.
Shawkat Ali, a private service holder of Rajshahi city and a residing of Seroil Shantibag area of the city, said he had bought two woolen sweaters for his children from Sheikh Cloth Store. The quality and collection of worm dresses is good, but the price of children items is very high, he added.
The prices, however; are higher than the last year, said several buyers of various posh markets.
