In a statement issued here on Sunday the MQM-P’s MPAs Rashid Khilji, Nasir Hussain Qureshi and Nadeem Ahmed Siddiqui after flour, grocery items, vegetables and fruits, the price of sugar had also suddenly raised to up to Rs145 per kilogram.
The MPAs said the officers of the district administration shared reports of their actions on a daily basis but in reality, they had failed to control the prices of the edible items.
They emphasized the need of taking strong action against the traders indulging in hoarding and in the creation of artificial inflation.
They said a recent ordinance promulgated by Governor Sindh Kamran Tissouri had even empowered the authorities to seal businesses and get such traders arrested and booked in FIRs.
