After having received the position-holder students at the Lahore airport
on their arrival back from the foreign visit at 3 am, CM Shahbaz Sharif
arrived at this tent office at 7am. Besides carrying out routine tasks,
CM also chaired a meeting to finalize the “Ramzan Package”. CM was
briefed about the measures taken to ensure smooth supply and
availability of essential commodities at controlled prices for which 322
“Ramzan Bazars” are being set up all over Punjab. Also, few shops
are being designated as “fair price shops” and the 10 functional “Model
Bazars” too as Ramzan Bazars, where essential commodities would be made
available at subsidized rates. It was decided that 10 essential
commodities including potato, onion, gram pulse, basin, dates, banana,
rice will also be made available at 15% off market price at fair price
shops of the agricultural department. 1312 price magistrates have been
appointed to monitor prices. Taking notice of a slight price hike before
Ramadan, CM directed the concerned officials to make best efforts for
providing maximum relief to the public. CM also instructed to ensure
provision of first aid facilities at the Ramzan Bazars
