Official rate of sugar not implemented anywhere
Lahore
April 7, 2021
LAHORE:The Punjab government managed to supply sugar at official ex-mill rate of Rs80 per kg in Akbari Mandi and it was sold at Rs83 per kg first time since it has fixed the rate of sugar.
But the supply of the sugar was limited and it vanished the same day and the commodity was not available in wholesale and retail markets at official rate of Rs83 and Rs85 per kg, respectively. On Tuesday, the district government with the help of cane commissioner office was somehow able to manage to lift some sugar at official Rs80-ex-mill from some sugar mills and supplied it to Akbari Mandi. The supply was thin while the sugar already vanished from the wholesale market since the price order was issued by the industry department a couple of days ago.
