This was informed at a high-level meeting chaired by Punjab Food Minister Bilal Yasin held Wednesday. The Minister claimed that the Punjab government has achieved a significant milestone in providing relief to the residents of the province by implementing a historic reduction in the price of flour bags throughout Punjab.

Bilal Yasin emphasized that the consistent availability of flour at a reduced price has alleviated the burden on a common man. He further noted that the reduction in flour prices has resulted in a decrease in the prices of Roti and Naan. The administration remains committed to ensuring that Roti and Naan are available at the prescribed rates across Punjab.

Yasin reiterated that providing relief to the common man remains the topmost priority of the Punjab government, and every possible measure is being taken to ensure the availability of affordable flour throughout the province.
