Citizens Speak:

A couple of shopkeepers at Model Town Market aired the views that ordinary shopkeepers should not have to close down and this is a political issue. They believe that outgoing governenment may be trying to create problems for the government in power. They ask, "Who is answerable for this?". One thing on which everyone agreed that such actions by the public at large make Life much difficult for daily wagers, who wake up in the morning unsure of the meal at night. The poorest pay the heaviest price, it seems.
