Tailors appeal for extending working hours

KHANEWAL, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 10th May, 2026) Tailors Association has urged the Punjab government to grant extended working

hours for tailoring shops ahead of Eidul Azha to help workers complete pending

orders on time.

Association General Secretary Ajmal Mehmood Sadrati appealed to Punjab Chief

Minister Maryam Nawaz and Deputy Commissioner Maliha Rashid to allow tailor

shops to remain open until midnight during the lockdown period.

He said tailors and workers associated with the stitching industry were facing severe

difficulties due to lockdown restrictions and prolonged electricity outages, making

it hard to complete Eid orders before the festival.

The association said thousands of garments had already been booked for Eidul Azha

and requested immediate relief so customers could receive their clothes on time.
