Traders announce sit-in against govt misconduct
Anjuman-e-Tajran Balochistan and All Balochistan Restaurant and Hotel Association have announced a sit-in on the National Highway on July 13 and a demonstration in front of the Balochistan Assembly on July 14 against the “misconduct” of district administration and the police.
The announcement was made by President Rahim Agha during a news conference. Agha said that the hotel and marriage hall owners as well as the business community were most affected by the lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic.
"The government negotiating committee had assured that bills will be waived, rations will be distributed among the employees for three months and loans will be provided to the traders on easy instalments but no action has been taken so far," Agha said.
