Around 5,000 people per day are coming. In short notice, we have opened this mela coinciding with Dussehra and Eid."He added, "Most of the stall owners hail from states other than Telangana, that is from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and West Bengal to Gujarat. From all states, there is representation here."A number of stalls in the Numaish cater to a variety of cuisines. Swings and rides are also installed in the exhibition for children."This initiative will result in conducting Mini Numaish every year during festivals of Dussehra and Diwali. We are also sure we won't be having a problem organising the 81st exhibition next year," said the organiser.He further assured that the area has been equipped with all necessary things including an emergency fire system.Faria Shah, a food stall owner at the exhibition, said, "We specialise in Kebabs. We started this business in 2015, so we are in this field for 6 years. The sale is good."Shah also said that she is hopeful of earning more profits from the Numaish mela that is expected to be organised next year on a much larger scale.Disha Ali, a visitor hailing from Maharashtra said that she visits the exhibition every year.
