The Pakistan government has authorised the army to take over in case the business community and religious clerics violate lockdown measures imposed to check coronavirus spread.

For the Muslim community all over the world, the month of Ramazan is regarded as the holiest but in wake of coronavirus pandemic, it has turned out to be a problem for Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Khan's government has enforced tight lockdown instructions but hardliner and fundamental religious cleric and business community are not ready to obey the orders, rather they have declared to continue their activities as routine.
