He said that the wholesale market was playing an important role in the supply of goods in the Capital, however, auction of price lists was creating some discrepancies leading to difference in prices.

He said that the rents of shops in Islamabad are very high which also have an impact on the prices. He said that a price list should be issued to every sector by taking the vendors of fruits and vegetables in confidence and steps should be taken to maintain the prices of essential commodities at a reasonable level to save the citizens from inflation. However, he was of the view that the imposition of heavy fines was not the better solution to such problems.
