Cairo Governor Khaled Abdel Aal
inaugurated Saturday a new outlet of the “Ahlan Ramadan” Fair in the Zahraa
El-Maadi neighborhood, Basatin. The 120-meter outlet is part of the 100 outlets
planned to be established by the Cairo governorate across the capital following
the directives of political leadership to provide citizens with high-quality
commodities at affordable prices.
The new Maadi outlet offers all kinds
of strategic and food commodities, including rice, cooking oil, sugar, flour,
poultry, meat, fish, and species, at prices lower than the market.
Abdel Aal also asserted that the state
makes a great effort to ease burdens on citizens by spreading outlets selling
commodities at affordable prices across the city to mitigate the impacts of the
economic crisis resulting from the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Abdel Aal added that more outlets would
be spread across Cairo, along with the city’s 2100 fixed and mobile outlets, in
cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce and the Supply Directorate, especially
in the neediest neighborhoods, to offer commodities at wholesale prices.
Moreover, Abdel Aal confirmed that the
executive bodies of the Cairo governorate intensify inspection campaigns in all
Cairo’s areas and neighborhoods to ensure the availability of sufficient food
commodities at affordable prices and to control and monitor markets to prevent
commercial fraud, manipulation, and monopoly. He also urged to take all
necessary legal actions against violators and to make sure that merchants
display clear legible price tags on each commodity.
The newly established “Ahlan Ramadan”
outlets receive a high turnout from
citizens, given they offer low price commodities.
