Wah cantt: The Rawalpindi district food department said Sunday that wheat flour is available in sufficient quantities across all tehsils of the district at officially notified prices, with monitoring teams carrying out daily inspections to ensure an uninterrupted supply.
District Food Controller Azhar Abbas told reporters that a 10-kilogram bag of flour is being supplied to tandoor owners for 950 Pakistani rupees, while the same bag is available in the open market at the government-fixed price of 1,100 rupees.
Abbas said food department teams are conducting daily inspections of flour depots and markets to monitor stock levels, ensure compliance with official price lists and oversee the supply chain.
“We are closely monitoring the distribution system to ensure that consumers receive flour at the notified rates without any interruption,” Abbas said.
He said providing quality flour at affordable prices remains a priority and warned that authorities would continue taking action against hoarding and profiteering in line with directives from the Punjab government to protect consumers and maintain price stability.
