Provincial govt urges authorities to continue Ramadan relief efforts
The provincial government has instructed district administrations throughout Balochistan to persist with relief efforts during Ramadan to alleviate financial burdens on underprivileged communities.
Officials also mentioned that stringent price-control measures are being implemented in local markets to shield consumers from profiteering and to guarantee the availability of essential food items at fair prices.
This relief initiative is part of the Balochistan government’s extensive efforts to assist low-income households and enhance public welfare during Ramadan, a period when the demand for essential commodities generally rises.
Authorities reiterated that similar assistance programs will continue across the province to provide maximum relief to citizens.
