KARACHI: The district East administration on Thursday banned all bachat bazaars in Karachi district from immediate effect.
The district’s deputy commissioner for Karachi West Zone has halted NOCs for every bachat bazaar.
After completing the verification procedure, the district administration will issue new NOCs to all organizers.
It is important to note that the weekly bachat bazaars in Karachi are now a way for the locals to get inflation relief.
In the bachat bazaars, stalls selling used items, shoes, clothes, blankets, utensils, food items, vegetables and fruits are helping the public to cope with inflation.
About 150 bachat bazaars are being set up in Karachi under the NOC of Bureau of Supply and Prices whereas the number of bachat bazaars with the permission of Deputy Commissioners and regional savings bazaars without NOC is around 100.
