The hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping intensified in San Fernando on December 19 as heavy vehicular traffic and large crowds filled several major thoroughfares, including High Street, St James Street, and Mucurapo Street.

President of the Greater San Fernando Area Chamber of Commerce, Kiran Singh, said he was pleased with the turnout, noting a steady increase in shopper activity since the start of the week.

“Serious shopping started on Monday, but today has seen the most people,” Singh said.
