KARACHI: Sindh Tajir Ittehad Chairman Jameel Paracha on Tuesday rejected the Sindh government’s decision of allowing businesses and markets to open from 6am to 6pm.
He said in a statement that it is impossible for traders to implement the new reduced shop timings in any way. “While traders are already reeling from adverse impacts of the previous lockdown, efforts are being made to limit business activities once again,” he said.
