LAHORE : The prices of seasonal vegetables witnessed a decline only in the official rate list this week as the district management failed to implement the official rates across the provincial metropolis.
Besides, the district administration could not enforce the official rates of milk, curd, and all type of meat. The sellers claimed of bribing the government officials to violate the rates. Furthermore, all type of grains and pulses were also sold higher the official rates. It seems that the official rate lists are issued to fill the files and documents only.
