DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Sep 11 (APP):The district administration of Tank has intensified its crackdown against hoarders and profiteers across the district, sealing a godown over violations of relevant laws here on Monday.
According to the district administration, the clampdown has been launched in line with the instructions of the provincial government to take action against profiteers who created artificial shortages of sugar to mint money through unjust price hikes.
A team led by additional assistant commissioner Tank, Jamshed Alam, visited various areas and inspected wholesalers’ shops to inspect the storage of sugar, wheat, and fertilizers.
During the inspection, one godown was sealed for failing to maintain a proper record of sugar.
The additional assistant commissioner said hoarding was an illegal act, and strict legal action would be taken against those business elements who were found involved in such unlawful activities.
