To curb overpricing, profiteering, and black marketing ahead of Eid, intensive market inspections were conducted by the police in collaboration with the civil administration across various markets in District Kulgam. These inspections took place in Main Town Kulgam, Manzgam, DH Pora, Malpora, and Mirbazar to ensure that all essential commodities were sold at government-approved rates and met quality standards.
The inspection teams, comprising members of the District Police Kulgam and the revenue administration of the respective areas, conducted thorough checks. They reviewed rate lists, ensured a hygienic environment, and verified that packaged commodities displayed the Maximum Retail Price (MRP), packaging date, net content, and other relevant information. The team also urged the public to report any instances of overcharging and assured prompt action would be taken.
Kulgam Police has committed to conducting these inspections regularly and has warned traders of strict consequences if they are found engaging in illegal activities.
