The Sindh government has established 27 special makeshift discount markets in different parts of Karachi in order to ensure the availability of quality food and other essential items to consumers at discounted rates.
This was stated by Sindh Labour and Human Resources Minister, Saeed Ghani, on Monday as he visited one such makeshift special market established at Wireless Ground near Kala Pul. Deputy Commissioner of District East, Assistant Commissioner Ferozabad, and other officials accompanied him during the visit.
Ghani said that it was obligatory upon the government to provide maximum relief to the people during the holy month of Ramazan as every citizen should show responsibility and perform his due role in this regard.
He said the Sindh government had been doing its best that food products and other essential items should remain available to the consumers at the special discount market as per the government-notified rate list.
Ghani noted that some of the products being sold in these special markets had prices less than the cost prescribed in the rate list issued by Karachi’s Commissioner.
He appealed to the people of Karachi to do their daily shopping at these special markets. Ghani said the Sindh government would increase the number of such special stalls and markets if overcrowding of customers was observed in the existing discount bazaars.
He warned the retailers in the market to sell products to the consumers as per the government-notified rate list while they should also show complete honesty while weighing the food items.
Ghani also interacted with the customers at the special bazaar and inquired about their problems.
