CCTV surveillance in Burrabazar
Taking steps to ensure the safety and security of jewellers and merchants in the iconic Burra Bazar area, the Burra Bazar Jewellers' Association is launching a comprehensive CCTV surveillance project.
Gold prices slumped by Rs.200 to Rs.29,750 per 10 grams at the bullion market on Wednesday, tracking a weak trend overseas amid fall in demand from local jewellers.
Silver also declined by Rs.100 to Rs.43,100 per kg due to reduced offtake by industrial units and coin makers.
Marketmen said that apart from a weak trend overseas, fall in demand from local jewellers and retailers at prevailing levels mainly pulled down gold prices.
