ISLAMABAD: The federal cabinet on Thursday decided to not increase prices of electricity and gas, as it deliberated on further steps to reduce inflation. A meeting of the federal cabinet was held at the Prime Minister’s House under the chair of Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday to discuss a 16-point agenda. “In future, provinces should procure wheat according to their targets,” said the prime minister’s aide. Dr Firdous said that a mafia was behind the sugar and wheat crisis which had taken hold of the country. Lashing out at the PML-N indirectly, she said people were targeting the Prime Minister’s Office from abroad for political motives.
