KP wheat quota raised from 3,000 to 4,000 tonnes a day
The KP wheat quota rise adds 1,000 metric tonnes a day, drawn from National Reserve Centre warehouses in Azakhel, where six of 11 warehouses were damaged by flash floods.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Food Department raised the daily wheat release from 3,000 to 4,000 metric tonnes, an extra 1,000 tonnes a day.
The move followed a Peshawar High Court decision and directions from the Cabinet Oversight Committee.
Flash floodwater damaged six of the 11 warehouses at the National Reserve Centre in Azakhel, prompting the release.
Peshawar gets an extra 116 tonnes a day, the largest listed share; other districts get shares based on population.
No new flour price was announced; government flour must be sold through authorised dealers at notified prices.
