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.
