In a special meeting chaired by Maryam Nawaz, which included all commissioners and deputy commissioners via video link, she instructed them to launch an aggressive campaign against price gouging and ensure strict adherence to government-set rates.
She emphasized that official price lists should be prominently displayed, and the supply and demand of essential food items should be carefully monitored to prevent hoarding.
