There is a risk of wheat crisis in Balochistan, there is not a single sack in the government warehouse.

Balochistan is facing a looming wheat crisis as government granaries are completely empty, despite the provincial government approving the purchase of 500,000 sacks of wheat. The Food Department has revealed that, despite the approval, the Finance Department has not yet released the necessary funds for the purchase. Officials state that the acquisition of wheat from PASCO will be finalized once funds become available. The process of purchasing and delivering the wheat to local warehouses is expected to take approximately one month, indicating a significant delay before the province can address its food security concerns. This situation highlights a critical administrative bottleneck that could lead to severe food shortages for the population of Balochistan, underscoring the urgent need for inter-departmental coordination and prompt fund disbursement to avert a crisis.
