Officials said the chief minister instructed to add Sahulat stalls in all bazaars. They said that every Model Bazaar was an awesome place due to its family environment and people can easily shop under one roof and at the same time their children can even enjoy in play areas or fun lands.

Talking about the prices of daily use commodities, officials said sugar price was Rs85 per kg while in open market its price is over Rs100 while flour was available in model bazaars at DC notified rates. They said enforcement of government notified rates was ensured in every bazaar and this was why customer footfall has increased in these bazaars.
