President of Chamber of Commerce and Industry Nouman Kabeer sent a letter to Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif in which he asked to close all private and public sector offices on Saturday and Sunday. He also requested to announce Sunday as a “Petrol-free” day and suggested an increment in fuel prices, with a subsidy reserved only for motorcyclists.
