The Giza Directorate of Supply and Internal Trade has intensified its campaigns to monitor markets, commercial establishments, bakeries, and various activities. The campaigns aim to ensure compliance with laws and ministerial decisions, and to protect citizens' rights. The efforts are in line with directives from Sidi Al-Balasi, First Deputy Minister and Director of the Giza Directorate of Supply, and Mustafa Ahmed, Deputy Director.

An inspection campaign led by Ayman Al-Arabi, Director of the 6th of October Supply Administration, and in collaboration with the 6th of October City authorities and housing, construction, and utilities police, resulted in the seizure of an unlicensed car oil warehouse. Authorities found 3 tons of car oils packed in tanks and about 100 cartons containing bottles of various sizes, as well as a large number of empty bottles prepared for filling.

The seized items were confiscated and stored in the warehouse, which was sealed by the 6th of October City authorities. The campaign also led to the creation of 5 records for failure to announce prices, including a supermarket, a popular food restaurant, a barbecue restaurant, and a vegetable and fruit shop. Additionally, 3 records were created for lack of health certificates, and a felony record was created for operating without a license.

In the Imbaba district, the supply administration carried out a campaign led by Khaled Abu Hajjar, Director of the Administration, and in cooperation with Entsar Yasin, Head of Control, and Mohsen Ali. The campaign resulted in the creation of 8 records for lack of business license, 6 records for failure to announce prices, and 3 records for lack of health certificates.
