KARACHI: Traders and businessmen took to the streets and staged a protest demonstration outside the Karachi Press Club on Tuesday after their multiple meetings with the authorities failed to reach an agreement. They vowed to continue their campaign against the fresh restrictions on business hours imposed by the government amid growing cases of the coronavirus.
A large number of traders riding motorbikes, cars and vans took out a rally from Liaquatabad and staged a demonstration outside the KPC, demanding the withdrawal of fresh restrictions.
“The Sindh government had earlier issued a notification ordering all business centres to be closed by 8pm, effective from April 6, 2021,” said Sharjeel Gopalani, head of the All City Tajir Ittehad. “The traders have unanimously rejected the Sindh government’s coronavirus-related order to close markets by 8pm in line with their stance last year when they protested against shutting the city’s bazaars.”
