The Rawat fruit and vegetable market in the garrison city is expected to have a positive impact on market dynamics by leading to a decrease in the prices of fruits and vegetables in the broader market. Kanwar Dilshad, the adviser to the Punjab chief minister on law and parliamentary affairs, conveyed this anticipation during his visit to the Rawat market near Chak Baily Mor.
During his visit, Mr. Dilshad meticulously examined various stalls, assessed prevailing prices, and engaged with buyers to evaluate the facilities provided. Stressing the need to expedite development activities in the vegetable market, he urged commission agents to streamline the process of directly sourcing agricultural products from farmers. This direct sourcing approach is expected to contribute to lower prices for essential vegetables and fruits compared to those in Islamabad's market according to www.dawn.com.
Mr. Dilshad highlighted that the establishment of the first vegetable and fruit market in Rawalpindi was a result of specific directives from the Punjab caretaker chief minister. He underscored the caretaker government's commitment to taking measures to subsidize food items for the residents of Punjab, including Rawalpindi. The overall objective is to enhance the affordability and accessibility of essential food items for the people, aligning with broader efforts to support the community's well-being.
