In a significant move to ease the burden of inflation on consumers, the Utility Stores Corporation has announced substantial price reductions on over 800 essential items. This price drop, affecting a broad array of products, includes popular household staples such as ghee, cooking oil, tea, and detergent.
Consumers can now enjoy discounts of up to 10 percent on various items, with some prices slashed by as much as 200 rupees. This reduction spans multiple brands and includes everyday essentials like noodles, ketchup, tetra-pack milk, powdered milk, spices, pickles, soap, and toothpaste. The new prices have been implemented immediately across all Utility Stores, providing much-needed affordability for households.
Although the Benazir Income Support Program’s subsidy is currently on hold, plans are underway to reintroduce it under a revised framework. This program is designed to offer additional financial assistance to those most in need, further complementing the recent price reductions.
In related news, the joint session of Parliament has been postponed to next week. During this period, the management of the Utility Stores Corporation has committed to enhancing its services and ensuring a steady supply of quality products at the newly reduced prices.
Shoppers can now take advantage of these new lower prices at Utility Stores, with expectations of further price cuts for additional items in the near future. This development marks a positive step towards relieving financial pressures on consumers and improving access to essential goods.
