The Central Cottage Industries Emporium's outlets in Fort

Next week, Mumbai is set to lose two important crafts establishments - the Central Cottage Industries Emporium (CCIE), and, the city's oldest home decor store, Contemporary Arts and Crafts (CAC). On Fort's DN Road, a little walk from CSMT, is CCIE's outlet, its display windows overtaken by enthusiastic hawkers. It's yet to shut down, but the complete disregard for advertising would have you believe that the central government-run store has already called it a day.
