The meeting reviewed ongoing and upcoming Sahulat Bazaar projects aimed at providing relief by offering essential commodities at lower prices than open market rates locally.

Chairman Mohammad Afzal Khokhar said the bazaars aim to provide public relief by selling essential items below open market prices during the Ramadan period ahead.

He highlighted the Sahulat Drive-Through initiative allowing citizens to shop without leaving their vehicles at designated bazaar locations for added convenience during Ramadan shopping hours.

He also discussed Sahulat On The Go, a programme to organise informal pushcart businesses while providing quality goods at one location for public convenience purposes.

MNA Tahira Aurangzeb urged administrations to quickly arrange land, as officials confirmed sixteen locations were being processed for Sahulat Bazaars across the division currently underway.
