The crisis of the unavailability of wheat is deepening. In a digital age where monthly and annual needs can be quantified, it is much easier to estimate the short and long-term demand for edibles, hence the shortage of wheat is rather inexplicable. Unfortunately, the incumbent government has miserably failed to control the prices of staple-foods.
Low revenue collection, inconsistent policies and disunity within the PTI have reduced it to a rudderless ship, unable to right its course. The class living below the poverty line is growing, while their supposed saviors are struggling for their own survival.
