I RECENTLY visited the Sasta Bazaar in the G/9 sector of Islamabad to buy some fruits. To my surprise, the rates of water melon, melon, peaches and loquat per kilogramme were quite reasonable; ranging from Rs20 to Rs150. Also, the box of cherries, which was sold for Rs300 elsewhere, was available for Rs250. Overall, I saved Rs250 on my purchase that day without compromising on quality. In terms of percentage, my saving was about 25 per cent, which is huge.
I compliment the organisers of Sasta Bazaars in Islamabad and hope that they continue to provide relief to the masses amid rising inflation.
