The Sindh High Court (SHC) directed the relevant authorities on Tuesday to appoint a director-general (DG) for the Bureau of Supply and Prices (BS&P) within three weeks. He claimed that the consumer protection courts had not been functional for two years, with hundreds of complaints pending due to the councils' chairperson's absence. "What was the point of establishing consumer protection courts when there is no one to head the institution?" The court directed the authorities to appoint the DG within three weeks, noting that the Sindh chief secretary, services secretary and agriculture secretary would be summoned to court if the judicial orders were not followed. Sadozai claimed they were trying to recover the missing men, Bashir Shar and Ghulam Rasool Shar, and obtain information about them from different agencies.
