Demand for comprehensive insurance packages jumps 100% as third-party plans don’t cover damages due to natural disaster
Pakistan’s National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) has recommended a week-long holiday for Eid Al Fitr next month.
Pakistani media reported that a request for seven days of Eid holidays, from May 10 to 16, has been sent to the Ministry of Interior.
The South Asian country is currently battling to contain a third wave of Covid-19 and has imposed restrictions on the movement of the people to curb the spread of the pandemic.
Islamabad has also deployed troops in 16 cities to ensure compliance with Covid-19 precautionary measures.
Pakistani daily The Nation reported that NCOC has also recommended a complete ban on intercity public transport services, closure of tourist spots across the country and closure of all commercial activities, except essential services, during the Eid.
