Labor Adviser Claims Extortion Syndicate Behind Price Hike

Extortion syndicates work behind increasing the price of goods. Labor and Employment Adviser Asif Mahmood said the government will do whatever it takes to reduce this public suffering. He said these things at the opening ceremony of sale of agricultural products at fair price in front of TCB building in Kawran bazar of the capital on Thursday (October 17).

Asif Mahmud said that the activities of Truckcell will be gradually increased to control the price of products, so that the consumers do not have to depend on the syndicate, the entrepreneurs have to take new initiatives. He also said that syndicate is a problem since birth, its violence will be broken very soon.

The labor secretary said that if the farmers get the crops directly at the consumer level, the price will come down a lot. For this, the sale of vegetables in trucks has started. He urged to inform the consumer department if anyone obstructs or extorts these activities.
