KARACHI: The police on Wednesday stopped traders from opening their shops in Saddar mobile market.

A number of traders reached the Saddar mobile market and tried to open their shops, but management stopped them.

According to the metropolitan police, a number of traders reached to resume their trade activities in the market but they refrained from doing it.

“There is an ambiguity regarding the opening of the markets,” the police officials said. They added that they will allow shopkeepers to open their shops if they receive a permission letter from the concerned authorities.

Addressing a press conference in Karachi along with other traders’, Jamil Paracha had said that traders have cooperated with the Sindh government amid pandemic by closing all markers for 28 days.

Now we will open markets across Karachi from April 15 as lockdown had suffered a huge loss to traders.
