ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Taking notice of the increasing prices of food items, Prime Minister Imran Khan announced to utilize all resources to reduce them.

In a tweet on Saturday, he said: "Starting Monday in coming week, our government will use all the resources at the disposal of the state to bring down food prices. We are already examining causes of the price hikes: whether there is a genuine supply shortage or simply hoarding by mafias; smuggling, if any;

"Or a price rise due to international prices such as for palm oil, lentils etc. From next week we will have our strategy in place and action will begin using all state organisations and resources to bring down food prices."
