President of the Traders Association Rana Shafiq ur Rehman appealed to the government, highlighting that shades installed by shopkeepers in the main market of Chunian to protect against sun and rain were recently removed during a Pera force anti-encroachment operation, creating significant difficulties for both traders and customers.
He emphasized that the purpose of these shades was solely to provide shade, and with the arrival of summer, shopkeepers and shoppers are now struggling with extreme heat while carrying out business and purchases.
Rana Shafiq ur Rehman urged the authorities to either provide an immediate solution to this issue or allow shopkeepers to reinstall their shades to ensure smooth business operations and a comfortable shopping environment.
