KP Governor Raises Alarm Over Inter-Provincial Wheat Movement Ban, Writes To Prime Minister
(MENAFN- Tribal News Network) -->
Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi has written a letter to the Prime Minister expressing deep concern over the ban imposed on the inter-provincial movement of wheat.
In his letter, the Governor stated that restrictions on wheat transportation are a violation of Article 151 of the Constitution, which guarantees the freedom of trade and commerce within the country.
Faisal Karim Kundi maintained that the provincial restrictions have led to an increase in wheat smuggling and an abnormal rise in market prices.

According to the Governor, barriers to wheat supply have also affected flour prices.
Currently, a 20-kilogram flour bag is being sold between Rs. 2,600 and Rs. 2,800.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Muhammad Sohail Afridi and MPA Ahmed Karim Kundi have also written to the Punjab government, registering their concerns over hurdles in flour transportation.
Responding to the matter, Punjab government spokesperson Uzma Bukhari stated that the KP government should activate more than 200 closed flour mills in the province to ensure sufficient flour supply for the public.
