MIRPUR ( AJK), October 20 ; Deputy Commissioner Mirpur Syed Imran Abbas Naqvi has directed mutton, beef and chicken sellers to strictly comply with official price lists, maintain proper hygiene and ensure the supply of quality meat to consumers at prescribed rates.
He issued these directions during a meeting with a representative delegation of meat sellers here onTuesday, stressing that official price lists must be prominently displayed at all shops and meat sold at government-fixed rates.
