Three persons were arrested for selling government subsidized wheat flour in black in Bajaur while the flour was recovered.
According to details, a tip-off was received from sources in the Inayat Clay Bazaar that government flour is being privately packed in the market, which is later sold daily in black.
Following this, Bazaar President Imran Mahir contacted Assistant Commissioner Khar Mohibullah. A raid was conducted and the government flour was recovered.
The shop was immediately sealed and orders were issued against the owner.
The people of Bajaur welcomed this initiative of President Imran Maher and AC Khar and demanded strict action against the accused.
On this occasion, Assistant Commissioner Khar Muhibullah said that according to the instructions of the Deputy Commissioner and the provincial government, no one will be allowed to deviate from the official rates and prices.
