Fav Tag:

Mfarhanonline Business News KARACHI: Flourmills today went on a three-day shut down in protest against the Sindh government's ban on the inter-district transportation of wheat.

Flourmills Association said that the supply of wheat to the Karachi flourmills has stopped, following the enforcement of section 144, which has depleted stock with the mills to meet one-day requirements only. They said that sufficient stock of wheat was available in the country and the ban on its movement was a source of paving way for the corruption.

The association said that countrywide strike would be observed in case of non-acceptance of the demands and the future line action would be finalized in the next meeting on April 17.

Flourmills said that according to the government of Sindh, the food department would buy 1.3 million tons of wheat and in a bid to meet this target the April 10 ban was imposed.
