Deputy Commissioner (DC) Rawalpindi Capt. (Retd) Anwar ul Haq has visited vegetable and fruit market Islamabad to review the prices.
The DC took round of various shops and checked rates of vegetables and fruits being auctioned there. He directed the officers concerned of the administration to prepare rate lists for the retailers keeping in view the wholesale rates of vegetable and fruits on daily basis.
