They keep things in stock but customers purchase them in small amount, sometimes a lot of edibles get stale in the shop.
While slamming both Central and State Governments for their failure to control rising inflation that has badly affected domestic budget, Bhalla said this Govt has failed to contain price hike. Terming the tenure of Coalition Government as an example of complete betrayal as all their poll promises proved to be hollow, Bhalla said despite getting huge mandate from Jammu and Kashmir respectively ,PDP-BJP failed to deliver on single platform because of their indulgent in personal issues putting the state into lurch.

The Congress leader slammed the elected representatives for ignoring genuine and basic issues of common men who are moving from pillar to post for the redressal of their genuine grievances.
