PM directs Ministry of IPC to ask Sindh govt to release wheat 

Islamabad:  Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Tuesday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan had directed the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC) to ask the Sindh government to release wheat immediately.

In a tweet on Tuesday, the Federal Minister observed that the wheat price is the highest in the province.

The reason is that the provincial government has halted the release of 1.2 million tons of wheat. He said the Sindh government earlier also did not procure the wheat and did not buy wheat during the harvesting season.

Prices in Sindh were the highest in the country, the minister added.

وزیراعظم نے وزارت بین الصوبائی رابطہ کو ہدایت کی ہے کہ وہ سندھ حکومت کو فوری طور پر گندم کی ریلیز کا کہیں،سندھ میں گندم کی قیمتیں ملک بھر میں سب سے زیادہ ہیں جس کی وجہ یہ ہے کہ سندھ حکومت نے 12 لاکھ ٹن گندم کی ریلیز روک رکھی ہے۔ اس سے پہلے سندہ حکومت نے گندم کی خریداری نہیں کی
