officials for overcharging during the holy month of Ramazan.
District Coordination Officer Ather Hussain Sialk constituted several teams
accompanied by special magistrates to check price-hike. The teams raided several
bazaars and apprehended 25 shopkeepers who were fined Rs2,000 to Rs400,000 on
the spot. Those who defaulted on payment of fine were later sent to the jail.
