Lahore
April 19, 2021
LAHORE:Business community has demanded the government reconsider the decision of closing businesses by 6pm and no business activities on Saturday and Sunday as it has been adversely affecting the domestic trade and commerce.
Historically, Ramazan is always a peak season for domestic trade but for the second consecutive year it is being affected due to COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions.
The National Command Operations Centre (NCOC) decided to close normal businesses by 6pm during Ramazan. However, the business community was unsatisfied with the decision and demanded the government reconsider this decision to save businesses from further losses.
