The minister said KP was giving subsidy on fine flour while Punjab’s fine flour is expensive and he urged people to not eat fine flour.
Shaukat Yousafzai also said that about 164 flour mills were functional in the province while some 63 were closed due to certain reasons and the government wanted to run all the flour mills and provide them wheat at subsidized rates.
