Talking to APP here on Tuesday the customers put up questions to the authorities concerned and the government that why not stern action is taken against those who want to sale daily use items including edibles at sky-rocketing prices.
Use of dry fruits in winter is already out of the reach of low income groups and egg is the only choice they have to maintain their body temperature and to meet other seasonal nutritional necessities while the coldness is increasing day by day.
"The situation needs that stern action must be taken against profiteers and they should be sent behind the bars and punished for charging more to the fixed rates of edibles.
The negligence on part of authorities concerned encourages traders and retailers as well to charge their desired amount from the customers," said Tahir "The recent increase in egg prices is attributed to increase in coldness and the prices are likely to increase again with an increase in their demand, said Kamran a shopkeeper.
Meanwhile the citizens have urged authorities concerned to take action against those who are charging more and demanded for fixation and monitoring of the prices.
