Not sure how extending opening hours is going to make the difference when the economy is facing existential crisis. Imports are down. Economy is shrinking. LSM is down. And i wonder why the tax collection is down. We deserve a better tax collection system.

When you have a " munshi " ( with a bad track record ) instead of an economist run the financial affairs of the country then stuff like this will happen.
