“Coronavirus has spread all over the world and its effects are now being seen in Pakistan as well,” Dar in a video message.

Infections have been reported in 203 countries and territories since the first cases were identified in China in December 2019. Pakistan is also one of the countries fighting against COVID-19 with limited resources. The country is under a partial lockdown with almost zero business activities on the roads. Under such a situation, the most affected ones are the workers who work on daily wages.

“During this lockdown, people have become jobless. I own a restaurant named Dar’s Delighto on Pia Road in Lahore. Nevertheless, people who don’t have a job now, can come there and eat food for free,” added Dar.
