Citizens to get good news
regarding milk prices in 24 hours
Karachi—Nazim Karachi Syed Mustafa Kamal has said that stabilisng
milk prices is a hard challenge which has been accepted by City
Government.
He said that milk sellers, without any intimation, unilaterally
increased the milk prices from Rs. 34 to Rs.42 which was a wrong
decision and City Government will continue to take action against
profiteers.
“The citizens would get good news regarding milk prices in the next
24 hours”, he announced.
Addressing a meeting here, Nazim Karachi said that it was first time
that a good number of profiteers were sent to jail and fined. During
the last 24 hours CDGK magistrates imposed fines on 117 persons and
sent 59 milk sellers to jail, he stated.
Mustafa Kamal directed the concerned officials to further expedite
action against sale of milk at higher prices. He pointed out that
milk is a basic necessity for everyone especially children.
He was of the view that low income people were more affected by hike
in milk prices, therefore the City Government will not sit silent on
it.
“We have taken up it as a challenge and will work day and night to
make the milk prices stable”, he pledged.
Nazim Karachi said City Government has taken an important step in
Lyari Wholesale Market where illegal bidding used to take place
while surprise raids were also carried out in Landhi Wholesale
Market and some of the wholesalers were detained and these steps
have helped control the situation.
He directed the magistrates to carry out surprise raids in each and
every Town, especially the wholesale markets to monitor the sale of
milk.
Meanwhile City District Government Karachi continued its action
against milk wholesalers.
During the operation an illegal spot in Lea Market area was closed
down by City Government officials. The City Government has asked all
retailers to obtain milk from Lea Market where Enterprise and
Investment Promotion Department has taken over the control of
wholesale market.—APP
