Bilwani maintained that the sudden lockdown enforced by the provincial government had put the industrial and trading community, mainly exporters, at the risk of a financial loss in billions of rupees. “For non-shipment of goods, export orders and letters of credit (L/Cs) were being cancelled. And, he continued, the timely shipment of export goods could be done after taking preventive measures needed for the safety of the workers from COVID-19 pandemic. It would have saved cancellation of many export orders and L/Cs,” he remarked. Also, he added, the business community wants to give ration to their low paid workers to manage this difficult situation created by COVID-19.
