Days to go for Ramzan, there is a worry among businessmen in the city. Will the Code of Conduct for Elections kick in during Ramzan? “Ramzan is a time when businesses remain open through the night as people who are praying can step out and have food. If the business hours are limited we will be affected,” said Mohammed Rabbani of Shah Ghouse Cafe one of the largest restaurant chains in the city.
At Moghal ka Naka, a tri-commissionerate check post has been set up on Friday with a few armed paramilitary soldiers guarding the place. “This has been set up as the election code is likely to be announced soon,” said one of the policepersons stationed at the checkpost.
Ramzan is one of the biggest business month in Hyderabad with the city seeing a frenetic rush at restaurants, cloth stores, shoe stores and other commodities for one month. The business centres like Charminar, Ameerpet, Abids, Sultan Bazaar function through the night as shoppers and foodies throng the place without a break.
