He said that the basic objective behind setting up of sasta bazaar is to provide relief to the masses and make available all the essential commodities and edibles at a single platform for the buyers during the holy month.
The Deputy Commissioner mentioned that in a recent meeting of the Price Control Committee, it had been assured by the traders organizations to cooperate with the administration in provision of cheater and qualitative edibles during the month of Ramadan.
