The Flour Mills Association of Pakistan has announced an indefinite shutdown of all mills, Pakistan-based ARY News reported. Chairman of the Flour Mills Association, Chaudhry Aamir said the flour mills will be forced to go on strike from 7 pm on Thursday because the food department has cheated them.
He said that when the mills had gone on strike due to the ban on the arrival of wheat from inside Sindh to Karachi, at that time the provincial food minister had promised five million bags of wheat. Those were enough for the mills of Karachi for two months. On the assurance, flour mills ended the strike, according to ARY News.
