Srinagar,01 June (KNS): Expressing anger over the anxiety and uncertainty created by the administration's order to phase out the month-long lockdown, Kashmir Trade Alliance(KTA) said that the government should take the matter seriously.

According to a statement issued to Kashmir news service (KNS) , Ajaz Shahdhar, president of Kashmir Trade Alliance said that the district administration's permission to do business only two days a week on alternate days is a joke with traders and shopkeepers. He said that with this logic, the shopkeeper would have to open the shop only one day in a week, and that day too he would have to clean the dust and dirt of the week.

Shahdhar said that if the situation was so dangerous for Covid,  the Administration would have to wait another week to start the un-lock processes. He said that there is no only one working day in a week in any part of the world. He said that in fact this process was being done to collect taxes from the traders.

Shahdhar demanded the administration to seriously prepare a roadmap for unlocking so that shopkeepers and consumers would not face any difficulties.(KNS)
