Pakistan: State mismanagement triggers looming flour shortage in twin cities

Nov 19, 2025

According to The Express Tribune, an urgent meeting convened to address the crisis, senior leaders of the Pakistan Flour Mills Association (PFMA) sharply criticised the authorities for creating instability instead of resolving long-standing issues. The session, chaired by Chief Patron Tariq Sadiq and attended by PFMA Punjab Chairman Riazullah Khan and central figure Raza Ahmad Shah, focused on what attendees called "misguided interventions" by the Punjab Food Department. The Association argued that while federal and provincial administrations speak of revenue reform and economic recovery, their actions at the ground level only worsen the situation.
