CM Maryam shows displeasure over performance of price control committees

LAHORE – Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz expressed her disappointment with the performance of pricing control committees around the province.

According to sources, price control committees failed to apply the government’s rates for edible items in the markets.

According to sources, fruits and vegetables are being sold at greater rates in marketplaces, and this is due to middlemen and bureaucracy.
