This time, Chandani says she has managed to buy bottoms for only three of her five children and nothing for herself, her husband who helps out with her work, and her dependent father.
"Everything is costlier. Food, clothes, electricity and water bills, but incomes are lower. Everyone is struggling." "I'm only focused on buying essentials now," she said."Once or twice a week I'll buy fish and a bit of chicken for the kids." Hinduma Vithanage, owner of clothing wholesaler Abee Tex, said his sales were the worst in his nearly 25 years in the business. He employs 13 people and is struggling to stay afloat.
