Govt imposes strict ban on sale of unsubsidised flour

LAHORE: Provincial Minister for Planning and Development Malik Nadeem Kamran said a ban has been imposed on the sale of unsubsidised flour in white bags during the holy month of Ramazan.

The move is to ensure that subsidised flour is available in the open market. He added only subsidised flour in green bags would be sold in Ramazan bazaars and the open market from June 11 onwards.



Chairing a cabinet committee on the Ramazan Plan at the Civil Secretariat, the minister said the decision was taken so that people could take maximum benefit from the subsidised form of the commodity.

He ordered that quality, quantity and sale of commodities at fixed prices must be ensured at Ramazan bazaars.
