The Sindh government has initiated a strict crackdown against wheat hoarders across the province, aiming to stabilize flour prices. This decision was announced by Senior Sindh Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon following a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah.
Despite bumper wheat crops in both Sindh and Punjab, hoarders reportedly created an artificial shortage by purchasing large quantities of wheat from farmers. To counter this, the cabinet has directed the sealing of hoarders’ warehouses and the launch of a comprehensive crackdown, with assistance from police and other institutions.
Additionally, the Sindh cabinet decided to introduce an integrated weight management system within the Food Department, involving the Sindh Information Technology Company (SITC) for its implementation. A committee has also been formed to review the National Wheat Policy 2026–2030 and will present its recommendations to the provincial cabinet.
