Long power cut around Jajmau

 Recently, Jajmau residents faced a long power cut. It was quite intolerable. Some residents were reportedly sheltered at their relatives' residences in nearby localities. It was definitely a harrowing experience, undoubtedly. People, anyhow, tolerated the worst situation. Such a long-duration power failure in the main localities of the Jajmau area left hapless residents, old ladies, young mothers, and others leaving their homes for relatives' homes, where power supply continued without any disruption.  A totally different scene erupted over a little longer power disruption in Jajmau. There was no clear-cut information about the restoration of the power supply. The residents honestly endured the unsatisfactory situation with the support of an inverter up to 07 a.m.  Certain families moved to their relatives' places to beat the heat.  Even the political leaders kept on asking for the exact timing of the restoration of the normal electricity supply.

Do street shops compete with malls?




Is there something we want to distinguish over the inflationary days? Retailers are at ease making profits despite the presence of well-furnished malls at every nook and corner. This is close to reality.

They are supposed to face competition so they try to maintain average margins and ultimately discover their retail business profitable to a satisfactory level. Here in Jajmau, the street shops conduct their business before the existence of the malls under the defined rules regarding retail sales.

They also meet the daily demands of the surrounding area consumers. This quality appears as the secret of their ongoing business. The difference can be easily noticed in the shop's retail business. 

Looking at the deal trends in the two shops, we realise that the retail shops in a particular area are correct for the retailers sell varied daily use items at a fixed price. Price differences draw the consumers' attention at first sight. 

This can be easily fathomed by approaching those retail shops individually. If one remains rigid on price the others exhibit some generosity in reducing the prices. It is a simple principle for running a retail business. This does not vary from bulk trading in the market. 

It is those spiralling middle-of-the-day sellers' feeling to improve retail sales, and as a result, they remain more stressed about improving the business profitability.
