Details of the monitoring campaign in Bandar, Luxor and Arment
These field measures come within the framework of intensifying continuous monitoring of markets and shops to protect the health of citizens and ensure the quality of goods.
The Directorate explained that the campaign was led by Mr. Dhia Metwally, Undersecretary of the Directorate, with the participation of Mr. Abdul Azim Al-Noubi, Chief Supply Inspector, and Mr. Rifai Ahmed, Inspector of the Directorate.
They were able to seize 140 kilograms of spoiled salted fish inside a store specializing in selling fish on Shell Street, east of the railway, in Bandar Luxor.
In the same context, the campaign’s efforts extended to include the city of Armant, south of the governorate, where another 60 kilograms suspected to be unfit for consumption were seized.
Strict legal measures against violators
The inspection campaign, in addition to the confiscation of spoiled goods, resulted in the issuance of 3 official reports for shops selling salted fish, for violating the laws by not transparently announcing the prices of the products.
These movements are being implemented based on the directives of Engineer Abdel Razek Al-Safi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Supply in Luxor, who stressed the need to follow up on merchants’ compliance with ration decisions, and monitor any violations before putting the products on the market.
