Sindh Govt Allows Markets To Remain Open Till 8pm

Karachi: The Sindh government has allowed the market to remain open till 8 pm.

The Sindh government has accepted the demand of traders and allowed the business to remain open till 8 pm instead of 6 pm.

A Sindh government spokesman said he hoped market associations would implement SOPs.

It may be recalled that the Sindh government had issued new SOPs in view of the increasing number of cases of coronavirus under which business centres were asked to be open from 6 am to 6 pm but the traders had rejected these times.
