District administration of Dir Lower was taking solid measures to facilitate residents during the holy month of Ramazan by ensuring edible items were available at affordable prices.
As part of such efforts, Additional Assistant Commissioner Samar Bagh Sher Rehman on the directives of the Deputy Commissioner Capt (retd) Aun Haider Gondal on Monday paid a visit to various markets and checked the quality and prices of several edible items.
During the visit, he directed shopkeepers to display price lists at prominent places and sell edible items at prescribed rates.
He added that strict action would be taken against those shopkeepers who took law into their own hands by overcharging or hoarding commodities.
