RAWALAKOT: (Azadi Times) Dealers Association, Food Department, Poonch has clarified that we have nothing to do with the strike in Rawalakot in the name of raising the price of flour.
The private flour is being sold at Rs.6700 per maund while the government flour which is still Rs.3200 per maund has been kept out of the reach of common people. Dealers from Khaigula, Ali Sujal, Kahkot, Singula, Dar Gula and Linjgran besides other areas also participated.
After the meeting, the declaration issued by the signatures of 24 dealers appealed to the government to get rid of a few people who fulfill their personal goals by conducting daily strikes. These people have destroyed our business.

I should open a supply depot and provide us with flour under quota so that our business is not affected and the poor man gets cheap flour.
He also demanded the Deputy Commissioner to determine the prices of private flour. Action should also be taken against those who are selling private flour at high prices.
