However, temporary Eid stalls and shops set up in different markets across Bahawalpur offered accessories at higher prices than usual. The price of most accessories, including bangles skyrocketed as shopkeepers doubled the rates amid an increase in demand. As a result, women with lower incomes were deprived of one of the most quintessential items signifying Eid.

Customer at the market said that there is no check and balance from the government and administration due to which every shopkeeper has increased the prices of their products. “People are facing difficulties in shopping while those whose buying capacity is limited are unable to purchase most of the accessories,” they pointed out.
