Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon on Tuesday announced targeted subsidy to overcome prevailing flour crisis in the province. Addressing a press conference in Karachi, he said that the flour will be available in the market for Rs95 per kilogram (kg). This will be possible as the government has increased the quota for mills’ owners, he added.

Currently, the minister said that the price of flour per kg has soared past Rs160 in the province. However, that will not be the case onward. He claimed that the underprivileged people were already getting commodity in Rs65 per kg. He said that the government is ensuring supply of 0.6 million subsidized flour bags to masses through 460 trucks.
