ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah advised the Islamabad Capital Territory Market Committee’s newly elected officeholders to play an active role in providing relief to the public from artificial inflation, ARY News reported on Wednesday.
He was addressing the oath-taking ceremony of the market committee members held at the Fruit and Vegetable Market, Islamabad on Wednesday. Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb was also present on the occasion.
Rana Sanaullah congratulated the newly-elected committee members and urged them to do their best in curbing artificial inflation, the state news agency reported.
He also asked the members of the market committee to play a role against elements involved in hoarding, profiteering, smuggling and their facilitators.
Interior Minister said that had the market committee established before the advent of Ramazan, it would have helped a great deal in controlling artificial inflation and profiteering, which would have ultimately given huge relief to the public.
However, he said, “It’s never too late” and the establishment of the committee is welcomed with the hope that it would help act against the elements that are charging exorbitant prices.
Assistant Commissioner Saddar Zone Sanya Hameed Pasha administered oath to newly-elected Chairman M Sajid Abbasi, Vice Chairman Safdar Siddique, and members Farooq Amjad, Naeem Azam Khan, Tahir Ayub, Agha Siraj, Roshdil Khan, Ajmal Abbasi, and Chaudhry Ilyas.
