SKARDU, Nov 8: People have expressed concern and amazement over the price list of commodities issued by the district administration with increased rates as a “relief package” in Ramazan.

The district administration on the third of Ramazan prepared this novel relief package in collusion with some profiteers.

Speaking to Dawn, a local, Wazir Mohammad Iqbal, rejected the list and termed it unjust and unfair.

Many people said: “The prices of eatables and fruits were low in the market before introducing the newly-prepared price list, but now these items were being sold at exorbitant rates, which is annoying.”
