The first of these proposals is the reintroduction of seizures of cigarettes stored by traders at “national”gas stations, " said allambabi in private statements to echo of the country
He added in a statement to Sada al-Balad, that almost 200 thousand packs of cigarettes stored by merchants were seized during 4 days, in each of: al-Basateen, Matariya, Bab al-Bahr, Sayyida Zeinab, and a number of areas in Alexandria governorate, in addition to the city of Tanta in the West
He added that the second proposal is to return to the policy of distribution to kiosks and small traders by overturning the distribution pyramid (large traders or distributors accredited by the company reduces its share to one third until they comply with fair prices), in addition to being distributed to gasoline stations, hypermarkets and distribution outlets of the fixed and mobile Armed Forces
