Sindh releases its wheat each year on Oct 15: Mukesh Kumar Chawla

KARACHI: (HRNW) Sindh Food Minister Mukesh Kumar Chawla on Saturday said that the government of Sindh releases wheat on October 15 each year.

Commenting over the federal government’s demand for immediate release of wheat to bring down the price of the commodity, he held the federal government responsible for the wheat flour crisis.

“Wheat flour being sold on inflated price in Punjab despite subsidy being given,” Chawla said.

“Who has benefited from the import of wheat on inflated rate,” he questioned.

“There is no wheat flour crisis in Sindh, the government has decided to release the commodity from Oct. 15,” he reiterated.

The release of wheat will bring considerable decrease in the flour price, provincial food minister said.
