In order to provide relief to the masses and make essential items more affordable, the Utility Stores Corporation (USC) on Thursday announced up to 10 percent discount on around 800 items of different brands with immediate effect.
The prices of various brands of ghee, cooking oil, tea, surf, noodles, ketchup, tetra pack milk, dry milk, spices, pickles, soap, toothpaste, and other items have been reduced by Rs 8 to Rs 200, said a news release.
Notably, the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) subsidy at USC is currently suspended, which will be restored very soon under the new mechanism.
The press release said that USC management has embarked on a new strategy with renewed determination to provide excellent service. It further said that practical steps are being taken to provide customers with the best facilities and to ensure an abundant supply of standard and quality items.
