Under the directives of Deputy Commissioner Bahawalpur Zaheer Anwar Jappa, steps are being taken to eradicate overpricing and hoarding. Assistant Commissioners and Price Control Magistrates from all districts are actively working to eliminate profiteering, monitoring the auction of fruits and vegetables in the fruit and vegetable markets regularly, spokesman of the district administration told on Monday.
The Deputy Commissioner has directed to ensure the sale of food items at prescribed rates and to display price lists prominently to facilitate consumers. It has been warned that legal action will be taken against violations of the fixed rates. From 3 to 10 March, ACs and Price Control Magistrates checked the rates.—APP
