Due to a lot of problem faced by Karachi traders and economic markets the Karachi markets were allowed to open from 6 am to 5 pm by making thelockdown at ease .the Sindh government has also imposed strict laws which includestaking precautions against coronavirus where all customers and workers to follow thegiven rule.

Some people even went against the law and started the violence. Many groups of worshippers went against the law and incensed mob b turned on the police which prevented them from going to mosques. The khatib of the mosque states this un Islamic as the government has banned the worshipers going for prayers. Videos went on social media showed the anger of people towards the police and Sindh government by throwing stones and forcing the police.

Food is not the onlyproblem here other problems such as health and safety issues as well where the government lacked to provide safety measures to the public where there was a shortage of safety masks in the markets.
