Web Desk On Apr 14, 2020
KARACHI: Sindh Traders Alliance Chairman Jamil Ahmed Paracha on Tuesday announced to open all markets across the province from April 15 (Wednesday) amid coronavirus pandemic, ARY News reported.

Addressing a press conference in Karachi along with other traders’, Jamil Paracha said that traders have cooperated with the Sindh government amid pandemic by closing all markers for 28 days, but now the markets across Karachi would be opened from April 15 as lockdown had suffered a huge loss to traders.

He said the owners are not in a position to pay salaries amid zero sales, adding that if the lockdown was not lifted the traders will be forced to sack employees.

“If we were not allowed to resume business activities from tomorrow, the traders will utilize the second option by staging a sit-in in front of Chief Minister (CM) House,” he added.

Paracha said that Sindh governor Imran Ismail and CM Sindh are responsible for the whole situation as they announced to address concerns of traders but not one from both of them had contacted us.

He said that they will resume activities by adopting all protective measures.

“Will keep all precautionary measures in mind while re-opening businesses,” he said, adding that the government had failed to provide for the daily wagers.

On the occasion, President Small Traders Mehmood Hamid said that markets in Karachi will be open from 9 am to 5 pm.

It is pertinent to mention here that the federal government had extended the lockdown till April 14 to curb the spread of COVID-19 besides finalising a solid strategy to cope with the impact of the pandemic.

As long as they are 2 metres apart from each other, they should be allowed to protest outside CM house.

So let them do it. Fall out will be on PPP govt and these bunch of stupid awaam. Also it will be a test of herd immunity path.

Just like in United States the fed has given the authority to states, Islamabad should give authority to Sind govt of PPP. Let them deal with it instead of PTI trying to civilize these bunch of rturds.

This is a stupid decision, I can't see the public adhering to the 2 metre social distancing, they are putting thier lives at risk and the public, as most of them are not aware of the dangers corona virus poses.
