Minister inspects wheat procurement drive in
Sindh
KARACHI (April 21
2004): Sindh Food and Agriculture Minister Arif
Mustafa Jatoi paid a surprise visit to Sukkur,
Khairpur, Khandiaro and Naushero Feroze to monitor
procurement of wheat in Upper Sindh.
A press release of the Sindh food department on
Tuesday said a few traders had made complaints to
the minister about the non-co-operation of the
Food officials in the procurement of wheat.
The minister had warned the erring officials and
asked them to perform their functions diligently,
saying those caught would be dealt with severity,
the press release added.
Arif Mustafa Jatoi said the Sindh government
wanted to give maximum benefit to the growers,
adding the farmers and growers should get best
possible return on their yield.
The minister has said there is no need to limit
the movement of wheat, and there is no such
restriction on the movement of wheat by the Sindh
government.
He said that a group of chawkidars of the food
department, who were regularised recently,
protested for their posting on his arrival at
Naushero Feroze.
He said he had told them that the Sindh Cabinet
had already approved the regularisation of 490
chowkidars, and now their cases had been sent to
the finance department for budgeting and posting.
He said their services would be regularised soon
and payment would be released to them.
