PTI MNA Aftab Jehangir said the lockdown imposed in Sindh was only limited to "posh areas", adding that lockdown measures were not enforced in remote areas which needed them the most.

"I was also of the opinion that they should have opened shopping malls because these places have the capacity and security to monitor the situation. However, the provincial government allowed small markets to open where there is no way to monitor the people."
