As the Sindh Assembly is not in session, the provincial government had drafted the ordinance through the law department and proposed to mitigate the challenges emanating from the province-wide lockdown and embed all necessary measures to help those affected the Covid-19.
The salient features of the ordinance said it would provide prevention of eviction in the residential and commercial sectors, for the time being, giving equal relief to domestic residential and commercial tenants, employees and daily-wages workers.
Extending deadlines in submitting school fees, rent and utility charges, the conduct of trial or indictment and extension of the period for performance of duties by the court or an office is also a part of the ordinance.
