SUKKUR: Police on Saturday foiled a bid to smuggle wheat from Sindh to Punjab, taking six trailers carrying the cargo in its custody. Sangi police station personnel foiled a bid of smuggling of thousands of maund wheat to Punjab last night and ceased six trailers carrying the cargo, SHO Sanaullah said. It is pertinent to mention here that the federal government in a letter to the Sindh chief minister recently demanded removing obstacles in the inter-provincial movement of wheat. The restrictions over free movement and transportation of wheat from Sindh to Punjab, directly affect the prices of wheat and its flour, according to the letter. The Sindh chief minister should ensure free movement of wheat to other provinces as per the constitution, the food security minister said in the letter.
