The Luxor Supply Directorate launched an expanded inspection campaign in the center and city of Al-Zinia, north of the governorate, based on the instructions of Dr. Sherif Farouk, Minister of Supply and Internal Trade, and Engineer Abdel Muttalib Amara, Governor of Luxor.
300 cards seized and an important warning to citizens
The campaign was led by Engineer Abdel Razek Al-Safi, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade in Luxor, and aimed to tighten control over markets and ensure that support reaches those who deserve it.
Details of the monitoring campaign at the Zinnia Center
The campaign’s efforts resulted in the seizure of 300 ration cards that were hidden inside one of the municipal bakeries in the Zainiya district.
This procedure is a clear violation of ministerial decisions that prohibit the circulation of ration cards or leaving them with the owners of bakeries and catering activities.
In this context, the Directorate of Supply and Internal Trade in Luxor called on all citizens to preserve their ration cards and not leave them with any catering activity, whatever the reasons.
The Directorate stressed that seizing the card at the bakery exposes its owner to having the card immediately suspended and placed on the “black list,” which deprives the family of the food support allocated to it.
Monitoring flour violations and stopping production
During the completion of the campaign’s work in the villages and hamlets of the Zinnia center, supply inspectors were able to monitor a group of other supply violations.
These violations included issuing reports against two bakeries for disposing of 14 bags of subsidized local flour from their assigned quota, in addition to stopping production without prior permission, which resulted in harming citizens’ share of subsidized bread.
The necessary reports have been prepared regarding the incident, and the Public Prosecution has been notified to initiate investigations and take legal measures against the violators, while monitoring campaigns continue to control the supply system in all centers of the governorate.
