ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The committee, led by the cabinet secretary, tasked with investigating the wheat import scandal, has yet to conclude its inquiry and present report to the PM.
Sources reveal that the farmers' plight is worsening with time, as they are compelled to sell wheat well below prescribed rates. In Punjab, the price of wheat per sack has plummeted to a record low of Rs6,000.

On the other hand, despite the removal of MD and GM Passco from the government, there is no replacement. Also, the process to procure an additional 400,000 tons of wheat has not commenced.
Members of the inquiry committee declined to comment, citing ongoing work. It's worth noting that despite passage of 18 days, the committee's report remains inconclusive.
