Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC) has decided to close operations and lay off employees due to financial losses amid coronavirus pandemic. 

According to the details, PTDC has issued a notification to close its northern operation and lay off employees.

According to the notification, the decision to close the operation and evacuate the employees was taken due to continuous financial loss.
