KARACHI: As the power crisis continues to affect the entire nation, the Sindh Government on Tuesday extended the restrictions placed on market timings in the province.
In response to the frequent power outages and load shedding, the measure, which will be in place from July 17 through August 16, aims to close the gap between the supply and demand of electricity.
All marketplaces, bazaars, shops (wholesale or retail), super or departmental stores, and shopping malls are required to close by 9:00 p.m., according to a notification from the Sindh Home Department.
The law also stipulated that wedding venues and banquets must close by 10:30 p.m., while hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, cafes, clubs, gyms, movie theatres, plays, circuses, and other amusement centres must close by 11:30 p.m.
