Welcome to Dream Land.
This report and figures shown are baseless and wrong. Atta and vegetable oil and ghee are still very expensive and roti’s are very costly and of inferior and low quality and less in weight in the markets and are cheating the general public. Vegetables and pulses are very costly and out of the reach of common people. Food minister Bilal Yasin is unable to control the price rises in Lahore. Meat is very very costly and chief minster of Punjab must have close check and control on prize hiking’s.
This presumption is absolutely perfect, Prices will be down, When Yasin is in what a fantastic idea. This is the necked and zero performance of Punjab Food Mininster.This is only a cheating and a fraud to the common man.Otherwise no prices down even the price of floor is very high and its quality is very third class.Pulses,meat,fish,vegetables,oil roti is very very expensive and in Sandra area,its weight and quality is very poor.Shame for Food Minister who delivers and receive false, wrong and bogus statistical data from his ministry.NO CONTROL,NO QUALITY ARE MAINTAINED RUBBISH AND NON-SENSE SATISFACTION TO COMMON MAN.
