The issue of providing substandard subsidized flour in Azad Kashmir has caused widespread outrage among the public. The government’s initiative to supply flour at 1050 rupees has proven to be problematic as the flour is not only substandard and dangerous to health but is also highly unsuitable for consumption. It contains excessive amounts of unnecessary bran, and the moisture content increases the risk of fungal growth, leading to severe nutritional deficiencies. These issues put the public’s health in significant danger.
In the past, when flour was expensive, people turned to alternatives like corn or other grains, which were pure, natural, and free from adulteration. However, the government’s recent policies have forced the public to rely on this harmful flour, resulting in a rise in digestive disorders, intestinal diseases, weakness, and other medical issues.
On the other hand, hospitals in Azad Kashmir already suffer from inadequate facilities and expensive medications, benefiting private hospitals and corrupt elements. These practices, in turn, make treatment more expensive, putting additional strain on the pockets of the people.
The misuse of public funds by the government and bureaucracy, along with corruption, has put the people of Kashmir in a difficult situation. While government officials increase their salaries and perks without restraint, the common people struggle to make ends meet. This situation has become unbearable, and if these problems remain unresolved, the Kashmiri people may have no choice but to take to the streets in protest.
Experts argue that the current corrupt system ignores the basic needs of the people, including health and education, while the ruling class misuses public resources for personal gain. They suggest that if the government protects the rights of the people and takes concrete steps to end corruption, the people of Kashmir would not have to face these challenges.
It is clear that the people of Kashmir must now wake up and raise their voices for their rights. The time has come for the public to elect responsible leaders who prioritize the welfare of the people over personal wealth and work toward ending corruption. Without this change, the issue of substandard flour and its health consequences will continue, and the exploitation of the public’s rights will persist.
If these issues remain unaddressed, the Kashmiri people will not hesitate to make any sacrifice in the fight for their fundamental rights.
