As temperatures fall, residents in Quetta have turned to low-cost markets to buy warm clothes amid rising inflation.
The number of shoppers has increased at the low-cost market on Joint Road, where new and second-hand winter clothes are available at lower prices than in general markets. The market has attracted large numbers of people from low-income and middle-income households.
Colourful clothes and new designs have caught shoppers’ attention. Some are buying sweaters and jackets for themselves, while others are looking for shoes and other essentials for their children.
Residents said that inflation has made it difficult to buy warm clothes for the whole family from general markets. Low-cost markets offer an affordable option for families trying to manage their household budgets.
The rise in the number of shoppers has also brought cheer to traders. Shopkeepers say demand for winter clothes has increased as the weather has turned colder, giving business a boost.
