SARGODHA: The local flour mills association on Tuesday went on a strike by stopping the sale of flour at the government rate and suspended the supply throughout the city. Muhammad Rafique, an office-bearer of the association, pointed out that the price of wheat is between Rs3,000 and Rs3,200 per 40kg, while the government is forcing the millers to sell flour at Rs780 per 10kg. The prices of wheat should be kept at Rs2,750 for availability of flour at the government fixed rate. He said: “If the government does not accept our demands, this strike will continue for an indefinite period. Every city has different rates of wheat and flour.” Sargodha police have arrested 88 proclaimed offenders and registered 86 cases against those possessing illegal weapons during 10 days of November.
