The decision has been taken during a meeting between the chief minister and traders which was held on Sunday.
The markets, including community stores and retail shops, will open from 6am to 5pm.
Murad said that the provincial government took strict decisions in a bid to curb spread of the coronavirus and save lives of people. He urged public to practice social distancing.
However, the CM directed the shopkeepers to follow the SOPs or strict action will be taken against the violators. He said that those shops where SOPs will not be followed will be sealed.
On the occasion, the traders assured the CM that they will follow the SOPs set by the government.
