LAHORE – January 8 (ONLINE) Punjab Chief Minister Chuadhry Parvez Elahi said Sunday the provincial government had doubled the daily wheat quota for flour mills to ensure sufficient provision of wheat.
In a statement issued here Sunday, the CM said sale points across the province were also doubled. He said that 26000 tons of excessive wheat on government rates will be provided to flour mills from Monday.
