LAHORE

SWEETS became the most sought-after edible in the City after the Prime Minister’s speech was aired early in the morning.

People thronged sweet shops after they learnt that the prime minister has announced reinstating the deposed chief justice. Great rush of buyers was seen at almost every sweet shop of the City throughout the day. Sweet shops did a roaring business as their sales registered an unexpected jump.

Shop managers of a famous sweets brand had conveyed the prospect of quick sale on Monday to their head office. The News learnt that some branches of the said company located in office districts had to call for fresh supplies in the afternoon.

In some areas of the city, sweet shops owners increased the price of their products due to unexpected high demand. However, chains of famous sweet shops did not change their rates. They, however, faced supply shortage at their outlets for a while.
