Like the previous year, business leaders agreed to open two fair price shops during the holy month at DB road of the town to help poor and fixed income group people.
Besides, decisions were also adopted to conduct anti adulteration drive and to operate mobile courts in the kitchen markets of the district to check selling adulterated food items to the innocent customers in the month of Ramadan.
