Shopping hours


I think the present caretaker government should once again seriously consider re-fixing the shopping hours which they have fixed, especially for the shopping malls. It is not very feasible to go along with the present hours which has been fixed only up to 7.00pm in the evening. It is important to mention that most offices run from 9.00am to 6.00pm and some offices even continue up to 7.00pm. So it has become extremely difficult for the office goers to buy essentials of their choice after the office hours. Take my case, for example. I had been trying to buy some brands which I use for shaving. I can't get the time to buy them. Because when I come out of the office I find almost all the shopping malls closed.

I would, therefore, like to request the authorities to at least extend the time for one more hour: please keep the malls open till 8.00pm. I hope most city dwellers will agree with me.
