In a significant development, the price of a 20 kilogramme flour bag has dropped substantially in Punjab, bringing relief to consumers. The new price of a 20kg flour bag has been fixed at Rs2,000, down from Rs2,800 in previous days.
According to Flour Mills Association Chairman Asim Raza, the reduction in price is a direct result of decreasing wheat prices in the open market. He urged the government to lift the inter-provincial ban on the sale of wheat to help farmers avoid losses.
