It becomes easier for us to secure a good place for our stalls if we arrive in the last week of October, said a young shopkeeper at the Bhutia market near orient chowmuhani.

Like every year Bhutias have already arrived in the State for selling winter clothes at Orient Chowhumani with huge amount of Woollen garments.

Every year before the onset of winter, Bhutias set shop in the city. But one of the sellers complains that their selling do not match the expectation as competition from newly emerging shopping malls has lowered their sales.

The woollens sold by the Bhutias are not only of good quality but also fashionable. Though these woollen garments are not branded products, these are of very good quality and affordable.

However, the temperature to decrease more in the coming days, Farmers need to exercise extra caution and take remedial measures. Though there are no sign of rainfall but the sudden rainfall may hamper the prolonged effort paid by the farmers.
