Govt to use all resources to bring down food prices: PM

Islamabad, October 10, 2020 (PPI-OT): Prime Minister Imran Khan says government will use all the resources at the disposal of the state to bring down food prices. In a tweet on Saturday, he said that we will have our strategy in place and action will begin by Monday.

He said government is already examining causes of the price hikes as to whether there is a genuine supply shortage or simply hoarding by mafias; smuggling, or a price rise due to international prices such as for palm oil, lentils and others.
