Early closure of shops hailed

The early closure of shops and establishments by 8pm from June 9 has been appreciated by the Pakistan Cloth Merchants' Association (PCMA). In a statement issued to the press here on Friday Abid Chinoy, Central Chairman, PCMA said that this will save electricity for industrial use and the menace of heavy load shedding would be avoided to a very large extent.
