The business community across the country has demanded the government to lift the recently imposed restrictions on business hours maintaining that the respite be given at least in wake of ongoing business season of Eidul Azha.

The 9pm deadline for shops should be lifted for Eidul Azha season, said All Pakistan Traders Association President Kashif Chaudhry while addressing a convention.

He said that after Eidul Adha, business hours could be fixed in consultation with the representatives of traders and the government.
