PU shops closed by IJT reopen after two days
LAHORE, Aug 2: Two of the busiest shops in the Punjab University's Student-Teacher
Shopping Centre reopened on Wednesday after they were shut down forcibly by the
Islami Jamiat Talaba's (IJT) Food and Price Control Committee two days
ago.
The IJT had shut the shops down on Monday accusing them of
overcharging. The IJT allowed them to reopen on Wednesday.
The IJT has
made its Food and Price Control Committee, which according to PU IJT nazim
Mohammad Ayub, hears complaints against shopkeepers accused of overcharging and
if they find the shopkeepers guilty, they close the shops. On Monday, IJT
activists had forced the two shops to shut down and put up posters outside the
shops announcing that the shops had been closed on orders of the Price and Food
Committee of the PU IJT.
The shopkeepers of Tahir General Store and
Sheikh Brothers Departmental Store said on Tuesday that they were
worried and were not confident if they should complain against the IJT for
forcing them to close their shops. They said they were not guilty of
overcharging and alleged that the IJT had only closed their shops because the
IJT wanted to hand over the shops to its favourites.
Another shopkeeper
in the PU Student Teacher Commercial Centre said that no shopkeeper
in the market was happy with the IJT and its illegal committee, but they could
not do anything because the IJT was influential and PU authorities seldom took
action against it. Daily times
