KP Government Ensures Affordable Flour for Residents

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has taken measures to ensure affordable flour for its residents. To achieve this, subsidized flour is being supplied at government-approved rates through 1,573 designated dealers across all districts of the province.

A total of 676,165 bags of 20-kilogram flour have been provided to the public so far. The supply of a 20kg flour bag at the official price of Rs2,520 is continuing through registered designated dealers.

The KP government is releasing wheat from its official warehouses to functional flour mills across the province to ensure the availability of flour at government-approved rates. According to the Food Department, 21,319 metric tonnes of wheat have been supplied to functional flour mills so far, with 19,319 metric tonnes having been milled by the flour mills.

The provincial government is continuously monitoring the entire process of wheat and flour supply. Special Assistant to the Chief Minister for Food, Dr Muhammad Israr Khan, has urged consumers to monitor the quality of government-supplied flour themselves and immediately inform the Food Department if they receive substandard flour.
