LAHORE – Jewellers In Support Of Govt Over Lockdown. The Lahore Division Sarafa and Jewellers Association (LDS&JA) has announced, on Sunday, to completely support of the government in further maintaining the lockdown. Punjab is under lockdown from two weeks due to rapidly increasing the coronavirus spread in the province.
According to details, the Sarafa association has distanced itself from the calls of other trader associations for reopening markets. As the coronavirus lockdown is deteriorating the financial condition of people. LDS&JA President Muhammad Ahmad announced this decision in a statement issued on Sunday.
He said that reopening markets when the virus is rapidly spreading, would be equal to welcoming a major disaster. Adding that all the Sarafa and jewellery markets across the province would remain closed until further government decision.
He further added that the Sarafa association would not become a part of any move by other trader associations. Which are threatening to reopen the shops and markets and forcing the government to support their move.
He added that though the country is currently going through a hard time, it is therefore necessary for the federal and provincial governments to give relief package to traders instead of allowing them to work.
