Citizens protest against high prices in Sabzi Mandi : Because of the negligence of the Capital Development Authority (CDA), shopkeepers and vendors in Sabzi Mandi I-10 are fleecing customers by selling their commodities, including fruit and vegetables, at high prices without displaying rate lists.
The citizens lodged several complaints against overcharging, substandard vegetables, while the authorities concerned failed to take any measure against these adulterators and profiteers.
The citizens demanded stern action against the corrupt officials of the CDA, who were backing profiteers. While complaining against the vendors, the citizens appealed to the CDA high-ups to take stern action against all those involved in adulteration.
