LAHORE: Workers on Saturday demanded the prime minister and chief ministers should immediately take steps for controlling hike in prices of essential commodities in order to save the poor segment and the working class from economic and social sufferings.

So the prime minister and chief ministers must take action to control the sky rocketing prices with immediate effect,” demanded the Pakistan Workers Confederation secretary and trade union leader Khurshid Ahmad at a meeting.
