Commissioner Sargodha Division Muhammad Ajmal Bhatti has directed all deputy commissioners (DCs) to ensure that the benefit of reduction in petroleum products’ prices and depreciation of US dollar against the Pakistan Rupee reaches masses in the form of reduction in prices of essential commodities.
While presiding over a meeting of deputy commissioners to discuss the prices mechanism on Thursday, he stressed the implementation of a notification regarding reduction in food and transport fares at all costs. He said, “Deputy commissioners should mobilise subordinate officers to take strict action against hoarding and overcharging.” He said the government-fixed prices should be displayed at prominent places in shops.—APP
