UNPG/NNC urges business establishments to remain close on Sundays

Government of UNPG/NNC has “requested” business establishments to remain closed on Sundays. A press statement issued by UNPG/NNC Crime Secretary, K Yeptho and Crime Supervisor, L Swu, pointed that Sundays should be observed as a day of rest and worship by all Christians, while pointing that non-Christians residing and operating business should also respect the sentiments of local Christian population and refrain from opening shops and markets on Sundays. The government informed that it has come to their attention that few individuals were opening shops on Sundays solely for selfish profit and disregarding the majority Christian sentiments on the issue.
The statement also maintained that illegal liquor shops were also openly operating during Sunday. The government thereby cautioned that failing to abide by the said order would be met with strict actions.
