Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Mahmood Khan chaired a meeting of the provincial task force to review the measures for containing the spread of coronavirus on Friday
The participants of the meeting expressed concerns over the violation of standard operating procedures (SOPs) in different bazaars.
It is decided to ensure implementation of precautionary measures in the markets amid partial lockdown due to COVID-19.
Mahmood Khan directed to immediately hold talks with the traders’ associations to discuss the issue. He also ordered to initiate special monitoring of the markets whether SOPs devised by the provincial government were being implemented or not.
Moreover, the provincial government also mulled over resuming inter-district public transport. The task force decided to hold talks with the transporters to finalise SOPs and fares.
It is decided to resume the public transport between KP districts after holding talks with the transporters.
