The All Karachi Milk Retailers Welfare Association wants the government to allow their shops in the city to remain open till midnight.
The Sindh government has imposed a lockdown in Karachi from July 31 to August 8. During the lockdown, dairy shops can be open till 6pm.
Milk sellers should be given exemption from the restrictions to keep the supply chain of dairy products functional, the association said.
