“Initially, with the intervention of Chamber shops were got opened on Fridays till 9 PM instead of 2 PM. However with the continuous effort of the chamber team requesting the administration to lift the lockdown for Saturdays amid decline in number of COVID cases reported on daily basis, administration finally agreed to open the shops on Saturday’s followed by the recent announcement to lift the weekend lockdown,� he added.
The CCI president urged the business community to ensure that all COVID protocols including wearing face masks are strictly followed in their business establishments to prevent further rising of COVID cases.
