LAHORE (Dunya News) - Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari has announced a significant reduction in the prices of vegetables and fruits across the province.
She attributed this reduction to the diligent efforts of the district administrations. She emphasised that enforcing the government's rate list posed a considerable challenge for the administration.
According to her, the prices of vegetables such as onions, potatoes, and tomatoes have notably decreased by Rs29, Rs22, and Rs24, respectively, over the past week. The prices of other vegetables have seen reductions ranging from Rs15 to 20.
The minister credited the reduction in prices to the effective performance of the provincial administration.
Bukhari revealed that price control magistrates and teams were actively working in the province under the directives of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
She asked the assistant commissioners (ACs), deputy commissioners (DCs), and commissioners to visit markets daily for the implementation of government rates.
She stressed that it was CM Maryam Nawaz's mission to make these essentials accessible to the common man.
