ISLAMABAD (AIA) Minister for Industries and Production Rana Tanveer Hussain on Friday directed provincial chief secretaries to establish sugar stalls at the municipal council level and ensure an uninterrupted supply of sugar at Rs130 per kg during Ramazan.
According to a press release from the Ministry of Industry, the minister was chairing a Sugar Advisory Board meeting. He stressed that the Pakistan Sugar Mills Association (PSMA) and provincial governments must ensure that sugar remains accessible to low-income groups.
As part of the plan, 230 sugar stalls will be set up in Sindh with the cooperation of the provincial government, while 405 selling points have been identified in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Hundreds more stalls will be established in Punjab and Balochistan.
Provincial authorities have been tasked with security, cleanliness, and crowd management, while the federal government will form a committee to address any potential challenges.
