WNAM REPORT: A meeting of the Pakistan Sugar Manufacturers Association (PSMA) was held under the chairmanship of Federal Minister for Industries and Production, Rana Tanveer Hussain. The meeting focused on important decisions related to the pricing and distribution of sugar across the country. During the session, the Minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring sugar is available at affordable prices for the public. He announced that a micro-plan for sugar distribution would be introduced this week in every district.
Rana Tanveer Hussain further announced that special measures would be taken to provide sugar at discounted rates during the holy month of Ramadan. He stated that sugar stalls would be set up in every district starting three days before Ramadan and continuing until the 27th of Ramadan. These stalls will offer sugar in ample quantities to ensure no shortage for the public.
The Federal Minister also revealed that the price of sugar at discounted rates will be announced later this week to ensure that especially the lower-income groups have access to affordable sugar during Ramadan. He emphasized that with the cooperation of provincial governments, sugar stalls will be established across the country to ensure easy availability of sugar in all regions.
Rana Tanveer Hussain also said that Ramadan is a month of worship, and the government’s goal is to provide essential commodities, particularly for the less privileged, at reasonable prices. He assured the public that strict monitoring of sugar prices would be carried out to avoid any difficulties during the holy month.
