Sheikh Abdul Waheed said that more than one lakh of our restaurants are closed in the country.

Restaurant owner Mohammad Farooq Chaudhry says that if our demands are not accepted, then the next course of action will be to protest and lock down the city.

Restaurant owners also demanded that the government waive general sales tax for one year and abolish GST on utility bills.
