Suhail Yousuf, secretary of the Bridage's Shop and Establishments Association who is looking after the family business on Brigade Road way back in 1939 said, Covid-19 situation is worse and even big shops including Raymonds stores, Pizza Hut and Indian Terrian others.

Now he hopes there will be some relaxation on items connected with retails businesses and also slashing on GST.
