20kg atta bag to cost Rs25 more

LAHORE - The Pakistan Flourmills Association (Punjab branch) has increased the flour price by Rs 25 per 20-kg bag on the plea that there has been a surge in the wheat price in open market and increase in the oil and gas prices.

It is stated that the flour millers have increased the flour price without getting any permission from the Punjab government, thanks to good governance of the new provincial leadership.

“We have unanimously decided in our today’s meeting to increase the flour price by Rs 25 per 20-kg bag which will be applicable from Wednesday (today),” said Habib-ur-Rehman Leghari, Chairman Pakistan Flourmills Association (Punjab-branch) while talking to The Nation on Tuesday.
