Despite tall claims by the central and provincial governments, wheat flour crisis continues to worsen. Not only wheat flour is being black-marketed, but its quality is also being badly compromised to make illegal millions by fleecing consumers. Yes, it is a bitter truth that the provincial government has failed to curb black-marketing of wheat and flour. It seems that food department is acting as a silent spectator and not performing its duties diligently.
