In a protest against Israeli aggression in Gaza, the trader community in Lahore is observing a strike today (Thursday) to show solidarity with the people of Palestine.
Major commercial hubs such as Hall Road Market, Anarkali Bazaar, Urdu Bazaar, Azam Cloth Market, and Inner City markets are closed in support of the cause. However, the Badami Bagh auto parts market has opted to continue operations as usual.
Adding to the nationwide demonstration, the Pakistan Goods Transporters Association has also announced a strike, condemning the continued oppression of Muslims in Palestine.
