Deputy Commissioner Captain (retd) Rizwan Qadeer warned hoteliers and ‘tandoor’ operators to either sell roti weighing 100 grams at Rs15 per piece or else be ready to face punitive action.

The DC embarked on surprise visits to different hotels and ‘tandoor’ in parts of the city on Friday and imposed heavy penalties on the violators.

He ordered hotels and tandoor owners to display the roti price list prominently and avoid violating the government’s orders meant to provide roti to the people at a reasonable price.

He ordered price control magistrates to visit their respective areas of jurisdiction and provide relief to people.
