Hubli (Karnataka) [India], May 15 (ANI): As jewellery shops in Hubli opened on Friday amid coronavirus lockdown, jewellers are finding it difficult to purchase gold due to suspension of export amid the lockdown.
Speaking to ANI, a jewellery shop owner said, "Prices have soared up. We are finding it difficult to purchase gold as exporters are not exporting amid lockdown. Already we have fewer customers, they too refuse to buy after we tell them the price."
"March, April and May are crucial months to make income during which the lockdown has been imposed. Now this season has already gone. The government has not done anything in specific for us. We also have to pay our bank loan," he added.
