Pune: Shop owners expressed assistance after Deputy Minister of Chief Ajit Pawar said the decision would be a relaxation in restrictions on Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad, but they were worried about the problem of lack of supply caused by heavy rain recently.
Business owners have looked forward to extensions of time and the Federation of Trade Association Pune has written a letter to the country’s authority who asks the same since the 4PM deadline is enforced.
Rakesh Choudhary, the owner of the grocery store from Undri, said, “There is a lack of vegetables.
The supply for other items has also stopped because of transportation problems due to heavy rain and flooding.
On the one hand, the decision to keep the store open until 7pm will be received.
On the other hand, we have to deal with the lack of supplies.
“Lokesh Pandey, who runs a grocery store in Wagholi, said,” Apart from vegetables, there are shortcomings of snack supply, biscuits, sauces, spreads, and other items.
” Sachin Nivangunune, President of the Pune District Retailers Association, said, “We will be happy if permission to remain open until 7 nights given.
The current time until 4pm does not help us, because not many customers are visited from 2pm to 4pm.
Customers can use extensions and visit stores that are not important at night.
“He added that the shops were not important facing the lack of supply too.
“Supply of the KONKAN and VIDARBHA area stagnates.
However, extensions in deadlines will allow shop owners to get enough to pay bills and salaries and continue to survive, even if it is not possible to get immediate benefits,” he said.
Vegetable deficiency is the main concern for restaurants because they are looking for a time limit extension.
Ganesh Shetty, President Pune Restaurants and Hotel Association, said, “We have not received intimacy.
We will get information for relaxation from Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporations on Monday.
We look forward to extra time for the restaurant until 10:30 a.m.
There is a lack of raw material since Last week due to heavy rains.
There has been no supply from Kolhapur and Sangli for the past four days.
Because of the shortcomings, vegetable costs have risen by 20%.
However, we have considered this and will not transfer raw materials to our customers by receiving the profit margins Lower for now.
“Vaibhav Paliwal, the owner of Nukkad Cafe in Vimannagar, said,” Cafes and restaurants like we don’t use vegetables at large volumes, so we can reach local suppliers who have stock.
However, we must take into account price increases due to disadvantages At present.
We usually use tomatoes, onions, and capsicum, h double-folded arga.
We cannot transfer this to our customers, so we burn our own bags.
If the price continues to increase, we will make changes to the menu accordingly and cancel items that require raw materials that are too expensive.
