Chief Minister Punjab Sardar Usman Buzdar directed authorities to undertake all necessary measures to bring stability in the prices of essential edibles including flour and further directed that provision of essential commodities and flour should be ensured at fixed rates at any cost.
We will fully protect and safeguard the interests of the people during current turbulent situation, he added. Usman Buzdar directed to launch crackdown against hoarders and illegal profiteers. He also ordered that an indiscriminate stern action should be taken against them according to law. Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners after launching crackdown against them should submit their reports to the CM office.
He asserted that all administrative powers will be exercised for ensuring the provision of essential items to the people at fixed rates and any undue hike in the prices of essential edibles will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Usman Buzdar emphasized that we will also initiate all possible steps to ensure provision of relief to the masses as it is our mutual responsibility as well as duty.
An effective implementation on price control mechanism should also be ensured, he directed. He further lamented that those elements indulging into price-hike are not only culprits under the law but of society also. I will myself monitor the steps being taken for ensuring price control and will not allow anyone to exploit masses of the province, concluded Usman Buzdar.
