PESHAWAR:

The provincial government has decided to provide 200 bags of flour to every neighbourhood and village council of the district Peshawar on a daily basis.

It was announced during a meeting held here with Commissioner Peshawar Division Riaz Khan Mehsud in the chair.

The meeting was held on the special directives of Chief Minister Mahmood Khan. Besides, MNAs, MPAs and their representatives, the administrative officers of the district and the food department also attended.

The participants of the meeting were informed that 67,000 bags of 20-kilogram are being supplied to 704 dealers on daily basis and on public complaints the quota of 84 atta dealers has been cancelled and stern legal action against them is in process.

For bringing an end to irregularities and unnecessary dealers, the meeting decided on simplification and judicious distribution of the subsidised flour.

Under the new policy, all neighbourhood and village councils of the district would be supplied 200 bags of the commodity on a daily basis.
