Minister for Industries and Production, Hammad Azhar has said that the government is taking all possible measures to bring the sugar prices down.
In an interview with a private news channel, Hammad Azhar said that strict laws have been introduced to streamline the working of the sugar sector.
He blamed the Pakistan Sugar Mill Association (PSMA) for providing the government with incorrect data that led to a steep hike in the price of the commodity. He said the association informed the federal government of a 300,000 tonnes surplus in the May 11 meeting. “I was told we might even have to export it.”—TLTP
