RAWALPINDI, July 28: Punjab cabinet sub-committee led by Sardar Zulfiqar Ahmed Khosa would inspect different Ramazan bazaars established in the garrison city by the provincial government to provide essential food items at subsidised rates.

Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif directed the committee to visit the bazaars and check whether the facility was being provided to the people or not.

The committee would conduct surprise visits to the bazaars in the coming days, it has been learnt.

Soon after hearing the news about the inspection team’s visit, the local administration made special arrangements at all the bazaars and directed the relevant departments to improve the state of affairs here on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the low sale of wheat flour and sugar at eight Ramazan bazaars was witnessed on Saturday due to marginal price difference between the market and Ramazan bazaars.
