Speaker KP Assembly Mushtaq Ahmed Ghani Saturday said that the federal government had provided a huge relief of Rs 7 billion on essential food items to the masses through the Ramazan relief package.
He expressed these views while talking to media persons after the inauguration of the Utility Stores Corporation (USC) branch here at Murree road.
The speaker further said that the package was a great initiative of Prime Minister Imran Khan, which would facilitate masses during the holy month, adding every citizen would be able to purchase affordable food and other items.
A subsidy of Rs 7 billion rupees had been provided on 19 essential items of daily use, he said, adding there was a huge difference between the market price and USC price on these items.
He said that the government had provided relief to the masses not to the traders, if any trader found selling USC items, the administration would take strict action against him.—APP
