PM for giving two flour bags instead of one to the deserving.

BAHAWALPUR -- Prime Minister Mian Shehbaz Sharif has issued directions to the officials to make special arrangements for distribution of free wheat flour for the senior citizens, aged women and those facing health issues.

He was on a visit to Bahawalpur and Multan on Sunday. In Bahawalpur, he inspected two free flour distribution centres at the Dring Stadium and Government Abbasia High School.

According to a handout, he directed the officials to provide two bags instead of one to the each deserving person to save them from the ordeal of visiting the flour distribution centres to collect free flour.

At the Dring Stadium, the members of divisional and district administrations, including Commissioner Dr Ehtesham Anwar Mahar, Regional Police Officer Rai Babar Saeed, Deputy Commissioner Zaheer Anwar Jappa and District Police Officer Syed Muhammad Abbas Shah briefed the prime minister on the distribution of free flour.
