LAHORE: Despite the frequent inspections, monitoring and visits, the teams constituted by the city district and divisional administration could not fully implement the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions in the provincial metropolis.
The traders, shopkeepers, car dealers and retailers in various city markets kept on doing business behind half-downed shutters of their shops and showrooms.
“The number of Covid-19 positive cases and related deaths is gradually decreasing and it is the time to keep it down by all means. So the traders, shopkeepers and shoppers must cooperate with the government in this regard. And the divisional and district administration too should devise an effective strategy to enforce closure of the businesses, other than those providing essential services, in the light of the May 5 [lockdown imposition] notification,” says an official source.
