Punjab Implements New Food Price Control Mechanism

Punjab's Special Assistant to Chief Minister on Food Safety, Salma Butt, announced a new mechanism for fixing prices of essential food items, including vegetables, fruits, meat, and milk. The initiative, discussed at the Price Control Council, aims to ensure public access to affordable food and prevent overcharging. Measures include mandatory geo-tagging and selfies for magistrates inspecting shops and a prohibition on inspections between 10 pm and 5 am. While showing administrative efforts to curb inflation, this development is unlikely to directly or immediately impact Pakistan's gold or currency rates.
