Government Initiative
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has announced a decision to provide wheat to residents of Kurram at subsidized rates. This initiative aims to alleviate the economic burden on the local population by offering wheat at Rs2,800 per 40 kg, directly from government warehouses.
Implementation Strategy
The decision follows a request from the Deputy Commissioner of Kurram, who advocated for direct distribution to citizens instead of routing through flour mills. The provincial food department and district administration have been directed to implement this subsidy promptly, ensuring that the benefits reach the intended recipients without delay.
Expected Impact on Local Population
This measure is anticipated to provide significant relief to the residents of Kurram, particularly in the context of rising food prices and economic challenges. By reducing the cost of a staple commodity, the government aims to enhance food security and support the livelihoods of those in the region.
