Minister for Labour and Culture Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Shaukat Yousafzai said on Wednesday the provincial government was committed to providing relief to people by providing food items at affordable prices.
Visiting a Sasta Bazaar in Bisham, the provincial Labour and Culture Minister said that establishment of Sasta Bazaar bazaars was a revolutionary initiative of Chief Minister Mahmood Khan where poor people were getting essential food items at subsidized rates.
He said that people could be left at the mercy of profiteers and hoarders who were to be dealt strictly.
He said the government was spending billions of rupees on provision of subsidy on food items to extend relief to the poor segment of society.
He also inspected prices and quality of various food items and added that more such bazaars would be set up in the area to benefit maximum people.—Staff Reporter
