The shopkeepers and traders said that the government is being unfair as Eid time is the busiest for them.
“You can’t expect us to close our shops with Eid around the corner,” said a shopkeeper.
The police have been cracking down on the shops which remain open during this time. Many shopkeepers, however, reopen their shops after the police leave.
