KARACHI: Karachiites can now look up official prices of different commodities, including fruit, meat, vegetables, poultry and grocery online before buying them as the city administration has launched an android application — Karachi Price List — for the city.
The application was uploaded on Google’s Play Store and available for downloading.
Commissioner of Karachi Iftikhar Ali Shallwani told media that now citizens could also lodge their complaints against price hike through the application, which also has provisions of Urdu and Sindhi languages along with English. He claimed that the city administration was vigilantly controlling prices across the city.
“All deputy commissioners have been asked to make effective measures to properly introduce the application among the masses so that citizens could benefit from it,” he added.
The commissioner said that the city administration officers were also asked to ensure that the price lists were displayed in shops and other outlets. He said that immediate action would be taken on complaints lodged through the KPL application.
The commissioner also advised people to check the official prices of daily commodities before buying them. He said that the prices of fruit, meat, vegetables, poultry, grocery and bakery items would be updated daily for the convenience of people using the app.
