Khaliqur Rahman said that wheat was being provided to the flourmills on a daily basis so that people could not face any shortage of flour and get the staple item at a subsidized

rate everywhere in the province.

He said that on the special instructions of Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief Minister Mahmood Khan, all resources were being utilized to provide relief to the people. The adviser said that hoarding and illegal profiteering mafia would be dealt with an iron hand.
