One leading news agency correspondent visited the market in the business heart of Delhi and the shopkeepers admitted that advancements in technology and the decline in the number of affluent customers have given way to this new breed of shoppers who are looking for cheap entertainment.
"People who have laptops and internet don't come here anymore. It is the labour class which is driving the sales," said a shopkeeper on the first floor of the market, refusing to reveal his name.
According to shopkeepers, with easy access to internet at homes and on mobile phones, affluent customers, from the middle and upper middle class have declined gradually.
