The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry has appealed to the business community to facilitate the masses and ensure provision of daily use items on discounted rates during Ramazan. LCCI Acting President Khawaja Khawar Rashid and Vice President Zeshan Khalil in a statement on Thursday said that availability of eatables including pulses, ghee, cooking oil, basin (gram flour), flour, fruits and vegetables at discounted rates in Ramazan would help enable the low-income groups to observe their fasts with an ease.
They said that it is duty of all of us to ensure relief to the less privileged class during Ramazan in particular to earn the blessings of Allah. It is common practice in western world that the business community announces special discounts on all special occasions like Christmas while situation in our country is quite discouraging, they said.
They said that care of masses is prime duty of business community therefore; they should scarify their profit and ensure availability of daily use items and eatables at low prices during Ramazan. Meanwhile, the LCCI office-bearers also expressed grave concern on repeated power outages and urged the Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) to ensure uninterrupted power supply.
