LAHORE: Punjab’s top bureaucrat ordered the provincial field officers to strictly implement the one-month ban on the sale of sugar for commercial use and directed them to allow mills to sell the essential commodity for domestic consumption only.
“Hike in sugar prices was unjustified, an artificial shortage of the commodity is being created to increase the rate against which stern action would be taken,” said the Punjab chief secretary while presiding over a price control meeting in the provincial capital.
