Punjab Chief Minister, Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has said that the provincial government is making all out efforts to provide quality Atta at cheaper rates to the people, and a comprehensive strategy has also been evolved for further reducing the rates of Atta.

He urged the flourmills to ensure quality Atta at cheaper rates to extend its benefit to the general public.
