People of Khyber Pakthunkhwa took a sigh of relief after establishment of Insaf Sasta bazaars in almost all districts where essential commodities were being provided to consumers as per Government’s notified rate. These bazaars were established at prominent places in almost all 35 districts of Khyber Pakthunkhwa where consumers were being provided all necessities of life including flour, sugar, ghee, rice, pulses, chicken and vegetables at cheaper rates from general market.
In Peshawar, great rush of buyers mostly from low income groups, salaried and middle class families were being witnessed at Insaf Sasta bazaar. These bazaars provide services from 8am to 5pm six days a week. People thronged to Peshawar Sasta bazaar where great rush of consumers were seen at fresh vegetables and meat shops.
‘I came from Wapda Town to purchase flour, ghee, fresh vegetables, sugar, chicken and pulses at Peshawar Sasta bazaar where prices were very low compare to general market,’ Qaiser Khan a retired Wapda employee said. He said consumers can save a substantial amount after shopping from these Sasta bazaars, which were easily accessible. He said Insaf Sasta bazaars were gift of PTI Government for people of Khyber Pakthunkhwa and it was our collective responsibility to make it neat and clean.
