very dirty.

pickpocketing is common and visitors have to be very careful
and take extra care of their belongings while visiting here.

existed inside the market reducing the shading effect.
-- Very few signage's are provided and hence locating various shops is a
problem for those visitors who are not very familiar with market.

evening, so it is advisable to shop in a day time for the customers.
-- They are also facing the same type of problem like day by day
