16 Discount Bazaars planned

RAWALPINDI: The administration is finalising all the arrangements to set up 16 discount bazaars for the holy month of Ramazan so as to help peole buy groceries at subsidised rates.

Ramazan Sasta Bazaars will provide relief to the consumers during Ramazanul Mubarik while the administration would launch crackdowns against profiteers said Additional Deputy Commissioner General (ADCG) Sara Hayat.

She said district administration will monitor the Ramazan bazaars and open markets. Traders would not be allowed to fleece the customers and sale low quality products, she added.

The shopkeepers have been directed to display price lists at prominent places and sale daily use items according to the rate lists. The citizens would be able to purchase all kitchen items including flour, sugar, grains, basin, meat, chicken, onion, potatoes, ghee and other products of daily use at subsidised rates which will be less than the open market.
