Shahbaz Sharif to Make Surprise Visits to Markets

After noticing the high prices of edibles in the market, Punjab’s Chief Minister, Shahbaz Sharif, has decided to take action.

It was reported from Lahore that Shahbaz Sharif has asked the concerned officials to give these markets a surprise visits so that the rates for edibles such as fruits and vegetables can be kept under strict observation.

Pakistan is considered to be an agricultural country and despite having a high yield for fruits and vegetables throughout the year, it was reported that the prices for vegetables were extremely high during the past few weeks. Tomatoes were being sold for as high as 200PKR while other useful vegetables such as potatoes, ginger, onion, and garlic were being sold for over 100PKR per kilogram.

This situation came under the spotlight a few days ago and Punjab’s Chief Minister has decided to take action against the people who are trying to create a monopoly in the vegetable industry. He stated that such activities take place in the morning and that is exactly when his team is going to be present in the “Sabzi” bazaars.

He claimed that he will try his best in order to bring the prices to what they originally were and the culprits will be identified and sent home.
