Three restaurants at Karachi's Do Darya have been sealed on the directions of Deputy Commissioner South Irshad Ali Sodhar over the violation of standard operating procedures.

The order was carried out by Assistant Deputy Commissioner Junaid Khan who sealed Kebab G Restaurant, Al Habib Restaurant and Sajjad Restaurant.

The restaurants were found wanting in compliance with Covid-19 SOPs and were open past beyond the government announced time for restaurants.

"Violation of SOPs will not be tolerated under any circumstances," said Sodhar.
