PESHAWAR: The coronavirus pandemic, constant lockdowns and strict policies of the government have badly affected the business of traders taking the daily use items to the far-flung areas in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The traders taking flour, ghee, sugar, gurr to Upper Dir, Chitral, Swat, Shangla and other inaccessible areas have not stored these items for the second consecutive year due to coronavirus pandemic, saying it would be difficult for them to pay taxes this year.
Complaining against the media for highlighting the problems of consumers only, the representatives of traders said the media did not bother to know about their problems. According to them, the main traders purchased ghee from Peshawar and Nowshera, flour from Sakha Kot, sugar and gurr from Mardan and stocked these items in various sites in Swat for onward transportation to Chitral, Upper Dir and Kohistan but this is the second Ramazan they could not do so.

Despite lockdown restrictions, the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation Limited (Tasmac) has sold liquor worth ₹292.09 crore on the last day of April.
According to estimates provided by Tasmac sources, on April 30 the Chennai zone saw sales of ₹63.44 crore while Madurai and Coimbatore zones clocked sales worth ₹59.63 crore and ₹56.37 crore respectively. The Trichi and Salem zones saw transactions to the tune of ₹56.72 crore and ₹55.93 crore.
Sources said the sales were high due to a long weekend, and this had nothing to do with the election results which was slated to be announced on May 2. Salesmen at a few outlets in Chennai also noted that spending has been good at their outlets ever since the new lockdown norms came into place.
