Sir: While extending heartiest felicitations to the fellow faithful on the initiation of the holy month of fasting, this is also to say to all: super Ramzan price hike Mubarak of fruits and other essential food articles. In our beloved Islamic Republic of Pakistan, prices of essential goods “traditionally” go up on occasions like holy month of Ramazan, Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Azha. In just last two days, prices of all fruits, which are consumed more at the time of Iftar during Ramzan have gone up by at least Rs 50 per kilo/dozen as there is absolutely no check and control on prices. Market Committee Lahore officials just come on their motor bikes, throw away price lists of fruits at the vendors and go away. They never come back to check whether the fruits are being sold at the fixed prices or not. Vendors tell customers that fruit prices have gone up in the market and as such how they can sell at low price. Ramzan bazaars set up by the district administration in the direction of the provincial government. The chief minister is requested to make the fixed prices list from the authorities is followed to pass the relief to people. MOHAMMAD ZAHID RIFAT Lahore
