Sindh government allows business to remain open till 8 pm
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Pressure from the business community and Muttaheda Qaumi Movement (MQM) leadership has bore fruit as the Sindh government has extended the business timings in the province by two hours.
Government spokesperson Murtaza Wahab announced on Thursday that markets across the province will remain open till 8 pm. Murtaza Wahab said in his tweet that he hoped that market associations, shop owners and citizens will observe due regard for coronavirus SOPs and everyone from the shopkeeper to the buyer shall wear a mask.
The day before, Sindh’s trade unions had given a three-day ultimatum to the Sindh government to reconsider its decision of closing markets at 6pm.
In a press conference with MQM leaders, the traders said that they only sought a 2-hour extension in business hours but they would expand their protests if the Sindh government refuses this demand.
