This decision was made during a meeting of the Punjab Sahulat Bazaars Authority Board of Directors, chaired by Authority Chairperson Muhammad Afzal Khokhar. The initiative aims to provide essential commodities at affordable prices to citizens across the province. During the meeting, officials discussed the expansion plans and improvements to the Sahulat Bazaars network, focusing on increasing public access to subsidized goods. The new strategy includes setting up a Sahulat Bazaar and a Sahulat-in-the-Go market in each of Punjab's tehsils, ensuring comprehensive coverage. By implementing this plan, the government intends to expand the reach of the initiative, benefiting a larger number of citizens and enhancing the availability of essential commodities. The authority also considered other measures to alleviate consumer burdens and bolster the efficiency and outreach of Sahulat Bazaars throughout Punjab.",
