Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Chief Secretary Nadeem Aslam Chaudhry has said that there is no shortage of flour in the province and that all eligible families will receive free wheat flour under the scheme.
He was presiding over a meeting of administrative secretaries of all departments held at the Peshawar Civil Secretariat.
Good governance initiatives and measures for public welfare were reviewed in the meeting.
The chief secretary said administrative secretaries should continue to monitor distribution of free wheat flour in their assigned districts.
He claimed that more than 1.2 million families of K-P registered with the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) had so far received the Ramazan relief package.
The scheme would cover more than 5.75 million underprivileged families. He directed that the home secretary-led committee should closely monitor prices of essential commodities across the province during the holy month.
