The inspection was carried out by following the directives of Deputy Commissioner Arshad Qayum Barki for providing maximum relief to masses during the holy month of Ramadan.
The inspection team directed traders to ensure availability of government approved price lists at prominent places and avoid business malpractices such as hoarding and profiteering.
