Ali Zafar expresses outrage over mismanagement in free flour distribution

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif recently announced that one million people in the federal capital would receive free wheat flour and subsidised petrol in Ramadan. This initiative is aimed at saving the poor from the impact of inflation.

The scheme is aimed at helping 100 million people during the holy month of Ramadan, but the district administration and food department’s poor strategy rendered various free flour distribution points inactive. As a result, several flour distribution points could not resume the distribution process.

Now, Pakistani celebrities have taken to their Twitter handles to express their outrage.

Shafaat Ali, an actor and a popular meme creator, took to Twitter to express his thoughts on the chaos, commotion and fatalities that occurred during the distribution process.

In his tweet, Shafaat Ali asked why the underprivileged cannot receive a bag of free flour on their doorstep every month, the way they receive their monthly electricity bills. He questioned the need for gathering crowds to distribute basic necessities like flour to the needy.

Singer-actor Ali Zafar shared his response to the chaotic flour distribution process.

The citizens called for the attention of higher authorities, such as the caretaker Chief Minister, Commissioner of Multan, and Additional Chief Secretary of South Punjab, to closely oversee and monitor the distribution process.
