Profiteers are earning money in Kangali, the public is suffering
Situation deteriorated due to stoppage of supply of wheat to the mills for the last 10 days
Balochistan. These days Pakistan is facing a period of deep economic crisis. Due to inflation, the internal situation of the country has deteriorated to such an extent that people are queuing up on the road for every kilo of flour. The situation in Balochistan is even worse and here in Quetta the price of flour has reached Rs 2,800 per 20 kg. Wheat supply has stopped in this area for the last 10 days and profiteers are taking full advantage of this situation to earn goods.
According to the report of ARY News, a 20 kg sack of flour is being sold between Rs 2640 and Rs 2800 in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, amidst the shortage of flour. The price of flour in Quetta is skyrocketing due to shortage of the commodity. Sensing the opportunity, profiteers have become active and are selling 20 kg flour bags in Quetta and its surrounding areas for between Rs 2,640 and Rs 2,800.

The residents of the region have demanded the state government to take action against the profiteers and ensure the availability of flour.
Wheat not supplied since 10 days
Meanwhile, President of Flour Mills Association Balochistan Nasir Agha said that the supply of wheat to the mills has stopped for the last ten days. He said, ‘The public is paying the price for the negligence of the Balochistan Food Department.’
