All families having income less than Rs60,000 get free flour in Punjab

LAHORE (92 News) - The Punjab government has decided to provide free flour to the families having income less than Rs60,000.

The Punjab government spokesperson said that over 30 million flour bags have been distributed in 10 days. He said that distribution of free flour was partially affected at a few places.

Meanwhile, Punjab Caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi made surprise visits to free flour distribution centers in Nankana Sahib and Kasur to check the arrangements made for the convenience of citizens.

Upon reaching the flour distribution point at the smart marriage hall in Kasur, the CM found the center closed with the shutter down. He expressed his indignation at the premature closure of the center and upon raising the shutter, found that the staff were engaged in other work. The staff could not provide satisfactory answers to his questions regarding the sudden closure of the center.

Mohsin Naqvi issued a warning to the Kasur deputy commissioner and City Assistant Commissioner Rizwan ul Haq was removed from his post. The CM emphasized that strict action will be taken against whoever made the wrong decision to close the center. He stated that it is neither a way nor a justification to close the center before 4 o'clock, the official closing time. The staff raised the shutters, citizens were allowed to enter the hall and collect the flour, and the staff began distributing the flour bags.

Earlier, Mohsin Naqvi made surprise visits to the free flour distribution centers at the Mughal marriage hall and gymnasium hall in Nankana Sahib to review the arrangements made for the convenience of the citizens. He appreciated the arrangements and expressed satisfaction with the process of providing flour to the people.
