Karachi: Kokab Iqbal Chairman of Consumer Association of Pakistan (CAP) announced boycott of all meetings called for pricing in Commissioner's office. Talking to media he said that before Ramadhan, various meetings were held in Commissioner's Office to fix official prices. In these long meetings, prices are fixed by mutual consent are not implemented anywhere in Karachi. It seems that only meetings are called to complete task, which is of no benefit to users.
