Meanwhile the district administration has intensified a city-wide crackdown on profiteering and hoarding, with Price Control Committee teams conducting rigorous inspections of markets to ensure sellers comply with official rates for essential food items.
The operation, launched on the instructions of Assistant Commissioner Gwadar Saad Kaleem Zafar, is aimed at providing immediate relief to the public. During the inspections, Price Control Committee In-charge Shakeel Baloch strictly warned shopkeepers to display and adhere to government price lists, avoid illegal profiteering, and maintain hygiene standards in their shops.
Baloch stated that the goal is not only price control but also ensuring the availability of affordable, quality goods. He directly appealed to citizens to report violators. “If any shopkeeper charges more than the official rates, the public should immediately inform the Price Control Committee,” he said.
To facilitate this, the committee has set up a confidential complaint system. Baloch assured that immediate action would be taken on complaints submitted with video, audio, or text evidence, and the identity of the complainant would be kept secret to encourage reporting without fear.
He reiterated the district administration’s commitment to providing daily necessities to the people of Gwadar at fixed rates and standard quality, emphasizing that these efforts are part of a broader initiative to deliver “real relief” to the public.
