The objective of this initiative is to provide basic necessities at affordable prices and shield the middle and low-income classes from the effects of inflation, he stated. He said that providing relief to the people is the top priority of the Sindh government, and the setting up of Bachat Bazaars is a step in this direction to ease the burden of inflation.
These markets will offer daily essentials at lower prices to help alleviate the hardships of the common man.
