Food crisis
After flour, the crisis of cheap ghee and cooking oil has reached its head all over the country, even at the government-sponsored utility stores, poor people are facing difficulties due to the cessation of supply of these commodities at cheap prices, according to reports. According to the oil companies, the supply has been reduced, due to which there is a trend in the prices of ghee and oil in the wholesale market, and there is a fear of further increase in the price of cooking oil, while the price of ghee and oil in the month of Ramadan is increasing. With the increase in prices, shortages are also being feared, which may cause more hardship to the public. On the other hand, although the Punjab government has lifted the ban on international transportation of flour and made it conditional on the permission of the district authorities, it would be good if the inter-provincial ban on flour, flour, etc. In small provinces, especially Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, the prices of flour start to skyrocket and since this ban is considered as a violation of the constitution, it is necessary to review the inter-provincial ban on wheat, flour etc. Because of this type of restrictions, the trend of increasing the prices of bread, bakery and sweets in these provinces continues, the fact is that these items are banned for both provinces, but for Afghanistan, neither wheat is banned nor on flour etc., and this work has been done under the auspices of the previous government, while the people’s protest was ignored.

They should be removed and the import of raw materials should be ensured so that in the coming days, especially in Ramadan, there is no problem in the supply of either ghee or cooking oil, as a result of which further increase in prices is not possible. It cannot be declared, nor should there be any restrictions on the inter-district transportation of wheat and flour etc., because it is the basic There are those things that people need because of their non-availability, especially the low-income people. Providing these basic needs at cheap prices is one of the basic responsibilities of the government. In this regard, the administration should pay attention to its role and Provide ease to the people to get out of difficulties.
