A labourer, Ramzan, told The Express Tribune that he worked as a helper with a mason before the lockdown. They also stressed that the government should end this crushing lockdown instead of making tall claims of helping the poor. A large number of poor families, especially women, stormed towards Governor’s House to seek ration and assistance on Sunday. A woman said that she came to know that the governor would distribute ration among the poor on Sunday. An official said Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar was aware of the ugly situation that was created owing to the protest of the poor families gathered outside the Governor House.
