      <description>&lt;p&gt;The Federal Minister for Industries Hammad Azhar on Monday accused the Sindh government of lower release of wheat as compared to the other parts of the country which is causing the people of Sindh to buy wheat much more expensively. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;According to details, The provincial government of Sindh was initially supposed to release 10,000 megatonnes of wheat per day, however, falling short of its promise, it has released wheat at around 6,000 megatonnes per day. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Azhar took to Twitter to share data on the release of wheat and purchasing price in all the provinces:&lt;/p&gt;
