PM vows use of all resources from next week to bring food prices down
From next week, we will have our strategy in place and action will begin: Imran Khan
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Imran Khan Saturday announced that, starting next week, his government will use all the resources at disposal of the state to bring down skyrocketing prices of essential food items in the country.
"Starting Monday in the coming week, our government will use all resources at the disposal of the state to bring food prices down," PM Imran Khan tweeted.
The PM said the government is already examining the reasons behind the recent hike in the prices of food items.
He said the government is investigating if there is a genuine supply shortage, hoarding by mafias, smuggling or a rise in international prices.
PM Imran Khan said the government was checking if the price hike may be due to an increase in "international prices" for palm oil, lentils or any other item.
"From next week, we will have our strategy in place and action will begin using all state organisations and resources to bring down food prices," vowed PM Imran Khan.
