Approximately around 9000 kg of lemons were seized from a hoarder and auctioned in public on Wednesday.
Peshawar district administration carried out a huge operation against the hoarders in provincial capital Peshawar and recovered 9,000 kilogrammes of lemons from a cold storage facility in Chamkani on Wednesday.
The artificial shortage created due to hoarding had pushed the price of lemon from Rs200 to Rs450 per kilogramme.
