LHC extends market hours until Eidul Azha

Author: inp

The Lahore High Court (LHC) has allowed the city markets to be kept open till midnight till Eidul Azha. On weekends, the markets can be kept open till 1 am. The Lahore High Court, presided over by Justice Shahid Karim, issued two key rulings in a recent hearing on Friday. The court addressed concerns related to smog remediation and market regulations in the lead-up to Eidul Azha. In a move likely to benefit shoppers during the upcoming Eid celebrations, the High Court extended market opening hours. Businesses will now be allowed to operate until midnight, providing additional time for residents to purchase Eid essentials. This extension applies specifically for the Eid period. The court also introduced a separate ruling for weekends, allowing markets to remain open until 1:00 am. This extended weekend window offers greater flexibility for residents throughout the year. The hearing also addressed a report presented by the Punjab Food Authority (PFA) regarding the issue of dead chickens being sold in markets. The report revealed that authorities confiscated and destroyed a significant amount of unfit poultry – over 46,670 kilograms – from the Tolanton market alone.
