President Marriage Hall Associations Khalid Idrees, Mian Muhammad Ilyas President Lahore Marriage Hall Association, Malik Atiq, Ch Shafiq and other members informed the minister about their concerns that there are millions of people associated with the business.

Due to Covid-19, the wedding halls have been closed since March 14, 2020 which led business associated people/stakeholders to a miserable life, they said.
