Lahore: Provincial Minister for Food and Chairman Cabinet Price Control Committee Bilal Yasin has said that government is aware of problems of common man.

The Minister inspected cleanliness and security matters in Sunday Bazaar and directed that besides provision of cheap and quality daily use commodities to the consumers in Sunday bazaars, elderly citizens and handicap persons should also be facilitated. Besides making arrangements of security at parking, provision of potable water should also be ensured for the masses, he added.
