According to him, the Assembly members and administration should take action against the elements involved in artificial price-hike and profiteering. Raids are being conducted at cold storages due to which prices of essential items in open market and Sastay Ramzan Bazaars have reduced. Supply of edible items, especially vegetables and fruits, is being improved in Ramazan Bazaar so that the masses could be facilitated through creating a balance between supply and demand. The government is taking steps at every level to ensure availability of quality daily use items to the consumers at cheaper rates and to address people's complaints in Ramazan Bazaars.
