PESHAWAR Traders and businessmen in Peshawar have demanded the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government ease the lockdown imposed in the province. They have warned that if the government does not let them resume business activities, they will open the markets themselves in defiance of the government’s orders. ‘We haven’t even gotten any aid or grants from the government during this time,’ a trader said. The businessmen have also formed an eight-member committee for talks with the authorities. Following this, KP Government Spokesperson Ajmal Wazir assured that the government has prepared a package for small traders and will soon announce it.
