Ban on wheat movement criticized
HYDERABAD, April 4: Sindh Abadgar Board president
Abdul Majeed Nizamani has taken exception to the
imposition of ban on movement of wheat by the
Sanghar district Nazim.
Talking to this correspondent by telephone from
Larkana, he said that the Nazim had promulgated
section 144, CrPC, under which a ban had been
imposed on taking wheat out of the district.
He said that it was injustice with farmers who
were getting competitive prices for wheat crop due
to free movement of wheat.
He said that due to the ban, the price of wheat in
the district had come down to Rs340 per 40kg from
Rs380 per in one day.
He said that as Sindh produced early crop, its
wheat growers were able to get fair price for it
and added that the Punjab crop would come in the
market in April after which wheat price was
expected to be further reduced.
Mr Nizamani wondered why the Nazim of one district
throughout the province was acting arbitrarily to
ban movement of wheat.
He claimed that the Nazim had violated a decision
of the federal cabinet which had made it clear
that no ban would be imposed on movement of wheat
in the country.
He appealed to the Sindh government to take notice
of the matter and direct the Nazim to lift the
ban.
