Al-Anbat-Malik Al-bream

The supervisory teams of the Director of Industry and Commerce of Karak have intensified their campaigns on shops and commercial markets, since the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, to ensure that merchants adhere to the price ceilings set by the concerned authorities.

Director of Karak Industry and Trade Muhammad Al-Saoub told (Petra) on Monday, that the supervisory teams work in two shifts, morning and evening, and within a specific program to follow up on complaints and observations of citizens, and monitor the adherence of shops to price ceilings and announce them clearly on goods offered.

He pointed out that the supervisory teams were strengthened by about 10 employees on the incentive system in order to cover the control process in the various districts and regions of the governorate, explaining that many violations were issued against merchants for not adhering to price ceilings, especially poultry shops, stressing the availability of all foodstuffs in the markets.

 He explained that the commercial offers and the competition process in the major malls in the governorate led to a decrease in the prices of some commodities, calling on citizens to cooperate with the regulatory authorities by reporting any observation, whether with prices or monopoly, and the extent to which they conform to the conditions of public health and safety.
