Elderly facing dilemma in flour getting 

The elderly seem to be facing a dilemma in getting free flour bags through the government-announced scheme for the underprivileged during the holy month of Ramazan in Balochistan. It has become difficult for the senior citizens and differently abled people to get free flour.
The price of basic food items has rocketed in recent months, with inflation at a near 50-year high, as the country grapples with a balance of payments crisis that has seen it forced back into negotiations with the International Monetary Fund.
On one hand three provinces are getting free flour, on the other, Balochistan is receiving the commodity on inflated prices. In the market, the price of a 20kg bag is fixed at Rs2,760 to Rs2,880, while a 50kg bag has reached up to Rs8,000.
The Balochistan government spokesperson defended the inflated prices of flour in the province and cited non-supply of wheat to the flour mills as the reason.
The government should take notice of the mismanagement during distribution of free flour in the province especially in Quetta. The concerned should be directed to improve the situation. The elderly people and women should be provided flour on priority basis.
Separate counters should be set up at the flour distribution centres for the elderly people and deserve the pm ramazan relief package. Distribution of three to four bags at a time should be started to save people’s time and transportation expenses. he said the government is making all-out efforts to provide relief to low-income people. The flour distribution process need to be improved so that maximum number of deserving people can benefit from this program, launched in the holy month of ramadan to help the needy people.
