Residents of Rawalpindi are still hoping for some relief at Ramzan Bazaars and utility stores. In the first two Ashras, the ‘Sasta Ramzan Bazaars’ have utterly failed to grab the public‘s interest by offering substandard items at hefty prices.
People from all walks of life even urged Prime Minister (PM) Shahbaz Sharif to pay unannounced visits to Rawalpindi’s ‘Sasta Ramzan Bazaars’ and other open marketplaces to check the pricing and quality of products being sold in the last ‘Ashra’.
In fact, all government personnel, even Deputy Commissioners and Commissioners, are expressing minimal concern to provide assistance to the public as they know they will be transferred after the oath of chief minister in Punjab is taken.
According to trustworthy sources, the Punjab government will deploy strictly professional policemen around the province, especially in Rawalpindi, to bring a positive change despite the fact that the holy month is about to end.
