Pakistan is shrouded in dark clouds of economic crisis. The Flour Mills Association of Pakistan has announced an indefinite shutdown of all mills, reported Pakistan-based ARY News.
Speaking at a press conference, Chairman of the Flour Mills Association Chaudhary Aamir said that the flour mills will be forced to go on strike from 7 pm on Thursday because the food department has cheated them.
He said that when the mills had gone on strike due to the ban on the arrival of wheat from inside Sindh to Karachi, at that time the provincial Food Minister had promised five million bags of wheat. Those were enough for the mills of Karachi for two months. According to the media report, on the assurance, flour mills ended the strike.
Citing the figures, the chairman said that the mills were supposed to receive nine lakh bags by April 30 and the remaining 11 lakh bags of wheat by May 10. However, the food department cheated them, and to date, they have received only four lakh bags, he added.
Aamir also said that amid this situation, almost 70 per cent of the flour mills in Karachi have stopped working and more flour mills are going to be closed.
