Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) staged protest demonstrations against the flour shortage and mismanagement in free flour distribution in the province in Peshawar and Bajaur tribal district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P).
In Peshawar the protest was led by JI district Amir Sirajudin Querishi and others.
He said that during the holy month of Ramazan prolonged hours of unannounced power load shedding, gas load shedding and mismanaged free flour distribution has made the lives of the general public miserable.
He added that the government machinery has failed to perform its duty and if the problems are not solved then they would march on the deputy commissioner office in Peshawar.
On the other hand, JI Bajaur also staged a protest demonstration in Tangi, Charmang area of Bajaur district.
Speakers on this occasion said that inflation had hit hard the lower segments of society without inviting any attention from the quarters concerned and this situation was completely unacceptable.
“There is widespread mismanagement in the supply of flour to the registered families resulting in the loss of precious human lives,” they said.
