PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court on Thursday directed the federal and provincial food authorities to make a joint strategy to check increasing prices of essential commodities, especially edible ones, and hoarding, and ensure their availability on the market.
A bench consisting of Chief Justice Qaiser Rashid Khan and Justice Syed M Attique Shah observed that the prices of essential edible items had gone out of the people’s reach in the current month of Ramazan, so the relevant authorities should take immediate steps to check them.
