LAHORE: Minister for Information Punjab Azma Bokhari said on Friday that the price control programme is being implemented across the province successfully.
May it be a social media or common markets, people are themselves informing that for the first time in the history of the province, items at subsidized prices are being sold in the holy month of Ramazan, she said.
She said that the provincial government had launched the price control programme before the start of Ramazan, and its credit goes to Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz Sharif and her team.
She said that few complaints were still being received in the open market, which were being resolved immediately.
Punjab government’s priority
Azma said that it was the first and foremost priority of the provincial government to provide subsidized and quality items to the public.
She said that the Punjab government is devising a complete price control mechanism soon, adding that the price control sector was non-functional earlier and because of personal interest of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, the price control sector had been made fully functional.
Azma said that the prices of goods would be the same in the market as fixed by the administration and it was being fully implemented as well.
