30 million rupees transacted at Dashain bazaar

Mahendranagar (Dhanusha): The annual Dashain bazaar organized on the premises of Gopal Dharmashala of Janakpurdham made a transaction of 30 million rupees.

The transaction declined sharply this year, according to the former chair of the FNCCI Janakpur chapter, Jitendra Mahasetha. Last year, the sales recorded nearly 80 million rupees. Senior vice chair of the chapter, Manoj Kumar Saha, also admitted that the bazaar could not secure transactions as it was in the past.

The proprietor of Sulav Kitchen Centre, Ganga Ram Sah, who has been selling goods by setting up stalls during the fair for a decade, expressed worry that the salesmen this year could not make 50 percent of last year’s transaction. It was difficult to manage even the spending.

Similarly, Bal Ram Saha, 60, viewed, ‘Even the expense for staffs was not earned. We could earn more at our counters than in this bazaar.’ He blamed the bazaar management as poor.

During the Dashain bazaar, various goods ranging from daily essentials to festival necessities are in transaction. Generally, people throng such sale stalls to buy goods at lower prices. The bazaar has been organized every year for 48 years.

It runs from Ghatasthapana to Dashami on the occasion of the Dashain, the biggest festival of Nepali Hindus. The FNCCI Janakpur chapter manages the trade.
