Reduction in wheat quota deepens flour crisis

Due to wrong policies of the Sindh food department, Hyderabad is once again faced with an acute shortage of wheat and if the department failed to release the full quota of wheat to chakki owners, they will be forced to close down their chakkis. President of the Atta Chakki Owners Social Welfare Association Haji Nawab Ali said this while addressing a news conference at the press club here on Tuesday. He said that during the first week of September, the chakki owners were supplied 48 bags of wheat per chakki and wheat flour was made available to people according to government rates.
