LAHORE:
While the government is striving to provide relief to the people through Ramazan Bazaars set up by district administrations to provide quality items at affordable prices during the month, the rates in other markets have gone out of control.
With Ramazan approaching, shopkeepers increased the prices of essential commodities across the city. Citizens visiting the markets across the city complained that the prices of vegetables, fruits and meat had skyrocketed.
With the aim of providing relief to the citizens by offering cheap essential commodities without compromising on their standard before the holy month, the task of setting up 313 Ramazan Bazaars in 36 districts of the province was assigned to the district administrations.
