market in <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Gujar Khan<\/span><\/span> staged a strong protest against the market administration, accusing officials of failing to provide official rate lists while simultaneously imposing heavy fines and sealing shops.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"615\" data-end=\"944\">According to the protesting shopkeepers, the market administration does not regularly issue the official government rate list slips. Despite this, strict actions such as imposing heavy fines and sealing shops are being carried out. The traders expressed deep frustration over what they described as unfair and one-sided measures.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"1255\">The affected shopkeepers stated that when they arrive at the fruit market early in the morning, the rate list is already displayed. However, they are not officially provided with a government-issued slip. They argued that penalising them without formally handing over the rate list is unjust and unacceptable.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"1257\" data-end=\"1540\">The traders further alleged that the concerned secretary and other officials make decisions from their offices or homes without visiting the market to observe the ground realities. They claimed that authorities are forcing them to sell fruit at prices lower than their purchase cost.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"1542\" data-end=\"1758\">\u201cWe purchase goods from commission agents at Rs. 1,000 and are instructed to sell them for Rs. 700. This is sheer injustice,\u201d one trader said. \u201cHow can we run our businesses at a loss? We also have families to feed.\u201d<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"1760\" data-end=\"2065\">The protesters also revealed that Rs. 30 is being charged per rate list slip, which they termed illegal and exploitative. According to them, there is a clear difference between the actual purchase price in the market and the officially notified selling rate, resulting in financial losses for shopkeepers.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"2067\" data-end=\"2426\">The fruit market traders demanded that responsible government officials visit the market personally to assess the real situation. They urged authorities to allow sales according to the actual market rates and take action against what they described as incompetent and irresponsible officers whose actions, they claim, are damaging the government\u2019s reputation.<\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"2428\" data-end=\"2550\">The protesters warned that if their concerns are not addressed promptly, they may expand their protest in the coming days.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u06af\u0648\u062c\u0631 \u062e\u0627\u0646 (\u067e\u0648\u0679\u06be\u0648\u0627\u0631 \u0688\u0627\u0679 \u06a9\u0627\u0645 | 22 \u0641\u0631\u0648\u0631\u06cc 2026) \u2014 \u06af\u0648\u062c\u0631 \u062e\u0627\u0646 \u06a9\u06cc \u0641\u0631\u0648\u0679 \u0645\u0646\u0688\u06cc \u06a9\u06d2 \u062a\u0627\u062c\u0631\u0648\u06ba \u0646\u06d2 \u0645\u0646\u0688\u06cc \u0627\u0646\u062a\u0638\u0627\u0645\u06cc\u06c1 \u06a9\u06d2 \u062e\u0644\u0627\u0641 \u0634\u062f\u06cc\u062f \u0627\u062d\u062a\u062c\u0627\u062c \u06a9\u0631\u062a\u06d2 \u06c1\u0648\u0626\u06d2 \u0627\u0644\u0632\u0627\u0645 \u0639\u0627\u0626\u062f \u06a9\u06cc\u0627 \u06c1\u06d2 \u06a9\u06c1 \u0633\u0631\u06a9\u0627\u0631\u06cc \u0631\u06cc\u0679 \u0644\u0633\u0679 \u0628\u0627\u0642\u0627\u0639\u062f\u06af\u06cc \u0633\u06d2 \u0641\u0631\u0627\u06c1\u0645 \u0646\u06c1\u06cc\u06ba \u06a9\u06cc \u062c\u0627 \u0631\u06c1\u06cc \u062c\u0628\u06a9\u06c1 \u062f\u0648\u0633\u0631\u06cc \u062c\u0627\u0646\u0628 \u0628\u06be\u0627\u0631\u06cc \u062c\u0631\u0645\u0627\u0646\u06d2 \u0639\u0627\u0626\u062f \u06a9\u06cc\u06d2 \u062c\u0627 \u0631\u06c1\u06d2 \u06c1\u06cc\u06ba \u0627\u0648\u0631 \u062f\u06a9\u0627\u0646\u06cc\u06ba \u0633\u06cc\u0644 \u06a9\u0631\u0646\u06d2 &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":61661,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24,21,47,933],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dailynews","category-gujarkhan","category-headline","category-pothwarallnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61660"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61660\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61662,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61660\/revisions\/61662"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pothwar.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
