Following Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s announcement on Tuesday, just a few weeks before the start of the holy month of Ramadan, that the poor would receive free wheat flour as part of the “Ramadan package,” the government has finally decided to offer some relief to the nation’s people who are suffering from high inflation.

According to sources, the fasting month would reportedly start on March 23 or 24.

In the first part of the special Ramadan package, free flour would be given to the disadvantaged residents of Punjab, according to PM Shehbaz, who was speaking at a review meeting in Islamabad.

The prime minister received an update on the Ramadan package from Punjab Chief Secretary Zahid Akhtar Zaman and Finance Secretary Mujahid Sherdil. Mohsin Raza Naqvi, the interim chief minister of Punjab, the secretary of food, and other top officials were present at the meeting.

Continued accessibility to food sources

On February 13, Premier Shehbaz gave the authorities orders to guarantee the continued supply of food across the nation and to take action against hoarders.

Moreover, he ordered the creation of special committees to improve the supply chain and keep an eye on the prices of essential goods. He said that the nation had plenty of necessities, especially wheat.

In the next review session, the prime minister requested that the provinces and administrative units present a comprehensive plan for “Sasta Ramadan Bazaars” and the provision of essential goods at low prices during the holy month of fasting.

He had said that the administration could use technology to ensure the consistency of prices at Ramadan bazaars.
