Lahore: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has launched a comprehensive crackdown to curb rising inflation across the province, directing authorities to take strict action against profiteers and ensure price stability, especially during Ramazan.

She directed the Punjab Chief Secretary to personally oversee the anti-inflation drive and submit daily reports on food prices and quality.
The Punjab Food Authority was tasked with ensuring the quality of essential food items, while deputy and assistant commissioners were instructed to closely monitor flour and bread prices. The prices of fruits and vegetables will also be strictly regulated during Ramazan, and legal action will be taken against hoarders and profiteers, she warned.
To provide relief to citizens, CM Maryam Nawaz assured that quality essential goods would be available at lower prices in special Ramazan bazaars. She also emphasised that she personally monitors food prices multiple times a day through a dashboard and made it clear that no negligence in the anti-inflation campaign will be tolerated during the holy month.
This move aims to protect the public from artificial price hikes and ensure that essential commodities remain affordable and of high quality throughout Ramazan.
