Letter to CJP

In a letter, the Tehreek Tahafuz-e-Aain Pakistan requested that the sugar scandal be referred to a three-member judicial committee and an independent inquiry commission be established. The letter, signed by senior political figures including Mahmood Khan Achakzai, Allama Nasir Abbas, Asad Qaiser, and Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, highlighted billions looted from the public while accountability institutions remained silent.

The letter also alleged a conflict of interest, pointing to families in power who allegedly maintain indirect stakes in the sugar industry, using their positions to advance private business interests.

Dealers in Lahore's Akbari Mandi have increased the price of sugar by Rs1 per kilogram. The commodity is now being sold at Rs171 per kg, slightly above the official rate of Rs170.

According to market sources, the price hike was implemented by local dealers without any official revision. Consumers have expressed concern over the steady increase in essential commodity prices despite government-set rates.

Authorities have yet to respond to the local market adjustment.

Sugar other mills across Sindh is still unavailable at notified price

In a rare development, sugar has started selling at government rates in the country’s largest wholesale market, Jodia Bazaar. According to dealers, only one sugar mill has so far supplied sugar at the official ex-mill rate of Rs165 per kilogram.

Dealers say sugar from other mills across Sindh is still unavailable at the notified price. In the wholesale market, sugar is currently being sold at Rs170 per kg.

Traders report that retailers are being limited to a maximum of 10 sugar bags per shop. Despite receiving sugar at the official rate, most retailers say they will sell it at Rs175 per kg due to overhead costs.
