The flour price increased to Rs160 per kilogram in Quetta, Balochistan.
Despite the government’s subsidized flour scheme, a huge flour shortage has affected Quetta utility stores.
Balochistan’s food department would grant flour mills a wheat quota until January 10, when the price will drop.
The Quetta flour mills organization says 18 mills need 25,000 bags every day. They requested 9 to 10 lac four bags daily.
The mills’ organizations feared flour would disappear from the market if wheat weren’t given.
