ISLAMABAD: The Government of Pakistan has launched a special Ramadan relief package at utility stores, offering up to 15 percent discount on over 800 branded items to make essential items more affordable for the public.
The package was formally inaugurated by Federal Minister for Industries and Production Rana Tanveer Hussain at a utility store in Sector G-9, Islamabad. The minister termed the initiative as a major step to reduce the financial burden on families during Ramadan, ensuring that they have access to essential items at special prices.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has ordered the Ramadan relief package as a key measure to help citizens during this blessed month. Rana Tanveer said that we have allocated Rs20 billion for the relief, which will benefit people across the country, including Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
The Ramadan relief package will be available at all utility stores across the country, and store hours have been extended to better serve the public. Utility stores will now remain open from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM to facilitate easy access to discounted items.
In addition to the discounts, the minister directed officials to ensure that there is ample supply of goods and the quality of the items remains standard throughout the duration of the package.
The move aims to provide much-needed relief to households during Ramadan by making essential products like food and other daily necessities more affordable.
