The Punjab government has announced a record reduction in the prices of flour bags across various divisions in the province, in a move aimed at providing relief to the masses.

This decision comes as a response to the government's commitment to easing the financial burden on citizens amidst economic challenges.

According to Punjab Food Minister Bilal Yasin, a 10kg bag of flour is available for Rs800 in Lahore and Sargodha divisions, while in Faisalabad Division, the same bag is available for Rs830. Similarly, residents of Sahiwal Division can purchase a 10kg bag for Rs820, and those in Gujrat Division will find the price set at Rs850.

Bilal Yasin emphasized that this reduction in flour prices will not only benefit consumers, but also have an effect on the prices of naan and roti. He said this initiative is part of the Punjab government's broader efforts to alleviate financial strain on the public and foster economic stability in the region.
