Pakistan Flour Mills Association Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (PFMA-KP) chapter has demanded that the flour industry be given a tax break due to the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19.
In a statement, PFMA KP chapter chairman, Hajji Muhammad Iqbal said that flour industry is adversely affected by recent outbreak of coronavirus pandemic.
The Association president said despite wheat shortage and crisis, the flour mills industry is continuously supplying flour in local market to avoid any shortage of this food commodity in the province. He said the labour is working in flour industry in significant number. Flour industry has arranged additional labour to run the mills around the clock to ensure availability of huge quantity of flour to people in local markets.
So, he appealed the Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief Minister Mahmood Khan, Minister for Food and Agriculture, provincial food department and relevant authorities to waive off income tax on head of electricity bill and other extra taxes.
