I wonder where and why all of them have gone. Talking about the change in and around market, the stationary stores are still there, the market building is still there with hardly any change in its structure, its only recently (with in 5-10 years) that there was a mobile tower installed so close(within 10 meters) to the market premises. Could this mobile tower be the villain? Hope not. If it is, it will be hard to bring them back. How many sparrows would have vanished around each and every mobile tower in the city? |
