Officials from the Paktia Province Directorate of Industry and Trade have announced that over the past four months, they have confiscated and destroyed 30 tons of expired and low-quality food and non-food items from markets and shops in Gardez city, the provincial capital. <\/p>\n
Mawlawi Mohammad Azim Azimi, head of the directorate operating under Taliban administration, told media outlets that these items were identified through continuous inspections conducted by a specialized commission. The confiscated goods were burned in the presence of several officials. <\/p>\n
He added that the process of monitoring and inspection in the markets will continue to prevent the sale of illegal and poor-quality products. Azimi emphasized that the directorate, in cooperation with other relevant departments, strives to regularly inspect markets, identify violators, and take legal action against them. <\/p>\n
Members of the commission have urged traders to adhere to trade principles, pay close attention to product quality and expiration dates, and refrain from selling expired and counterfeit goods. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, several residents of Paktia have welcomed this initiative, calling it a significant step toward protecting public health. They stressed that ongoing oversight like this could enhance public trust in local markets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
