Pakistan, March 24 -- Federal Minister for National Food Security, Rana Tanveer Hussain, has denied reports claiming sugar prices have surged to Rs180 per kilogram. He called these reports "baseless" and accused them of creating panic. According to Hussain, there has been no significant price increase. In fact, the government's actions have led to a Rs5 per kg reduction.
The minister emphasized that the current market price of sugar is Rs164 per kg, not Rs180, and dismissed such claims as part of a disinformation campaign. He also assured that the government is working with provincial authorities to maintain price stability. A committee led by Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has been tasked with determining fair sugar pricing.
