GUJRANWALA, April 10: Information Minister Sheikh Rashid says the government has prepared a special package to provide relief to common man. “The president is taking keen interest in having prices of essential items reduced,” he told newsmen during his visit to the town on Monday.

The minister warned of price spiral in case the US attacked Iran.

To a demand of the journalists’ community, the minister promised that he would talk to the Punjab chief minister to solve the local press club issue.
