FRAZER Town's Mosque Road, once a bustling Ramzan food street, is witnessing a sharp decline in business this year due to ongoing roadwork. The area, which usually hosts around 150-200 food stalls during the festive season, has seen a nearly 80% drop in footfall as open drains and construction work have made the surroundings challenging.

When TNIE visited the area, the hotel owners told that the usual Ramzan rush has been missing this year. While mornings remain quiet due to fasting, evenings — when crowds typically surge — have been hit hard by roadwork. Lack of parking and poor road conditions have deterred customers, they said.
