To make the shopping experience more accessible and inclusive, the bazaars will have separate counters for women, senior citizens, and regular customers, ensuring smooth and efficient service for all. The markets will offer goods at wholesale prices, allowing citizens to purchase quality items at affordable rates.
DC Lahore emphasized that prices would be regulated by the Market Committee, and vendors will be supplied products at wholesale prices to keep costs low for consumers. The Deputy Commissioner has instructed that all preparations be completed by February 24, with the markets opening just before Ramadan to meet the needs of shoppers.
In addition to the bazaars, arrangements are being made for adequate parking and cleanliness to ensure a hassle-free shopping experience. This initiative is expected to provide significant relief to citizens during the holy month by offering essential items at fair prices.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif recently highlighted the government’s commitment to making essential food items affordable during Ramadan. He stressed the importance of cooperation between federal and provincial authorities in ensuring that food items remain accessible to the public at reasonable rates.
