'Sultan Rahi destroyed films', says Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum producerThe Chainstore Association of Pakistan appreciates the proactive measures taken by the government to address the smog crisis that gripped major urban centers in recent weeks. As these efforts yield positive results and the smog levels recede, CAP urges the government to lift the remaining restrictions on markets and malls, allowing businesses to resume full operations and recover from substantial financial losses.
As per The Urban Unit report and other research bodies, the contribution of commercial activity to air pollution is negligible. Whereas, heavy transport using low-quality fuel, the burning of waste and crop residue as well as non-compliant factories contribute to smog the most, not retail. No other country or region is shutting down markets to control air pollution, Farrukh pointed out.
Moreover, frequent changes to notifications and mis-enforcement by local authorities result in confusion and abrupt disruptions for the general public, employees and businesses. November and December are the peak period for retail activity as it is when the public is looking to purchase items for the colder climate and for special events such as family weddings. Most people visit markets and malls in the evening and night-time due to work and other commitments during weekdays.
