Implementation of the Plan and Covered Goods
The head of the Health, Environment, and Urban Services Commission of the Tehran City Council further referred to the details of the plan's implementation, stating: "In the first phase, the prices of 12 essential goods will be fixed for 6 months. These goods will be made available to the public through fruit and vegetable markets and Shahrvand stores." He emphasized that this plan is directly related to the people's table and allows families to plan for their living expenses.
Pirhadi also mentioned the positive impacts of this plan on the environment, saying: "Reducing non-physical trips through ordering goods in Shahrezad and home delivery helps reduce air pollution." He added that urban management cannot reduce overall inflation, but has planned for 12 essential goods, and if other agencies also take serious action on this issue, it will bring about more positive effects.
In conclusion, he referred to the cooperation of guilds with the Tehran Municipality in this regard, stating: "The municipality must utilize all its capacities to ensure the successful progress of the zero inflation plan." He also urged the municipality to continuously evaluate this plan and, if possible, increase the number of goods and supply centers. Pirhadi emphasized that the goal of this plan is to reduce the pressure of living costs and create more stability in the shopping basket of Tehranian households.
