Overview
- The Sindh cabinet on Thursday imposed a ban on the inter‑provincial movement of wheat and directed the Food Department and district administrations to act against hoarders to protect market availability.
- The provincial government says Sindh recorded a bumper wheat harvest this year and provided farmers support through the Benazir Hari Card, adding that local wheat stocks are sufficient and prices are lower than in some other provinces.
- Cabinet orders include confiscation of hoarded wheat for government use and instructions to pursue penal action against traders who hide supplies to push up prices.
- At the same meeting the cabinet approved major governance changes for health and public services, including the JPMC/NICH Operations and Management Act 2025, a centralised Sindh Postgraduate Residency Policy 2026, transfer of SBOSS to the Sindh IT Company, and direct contracting of the Red Line BRT Lot‑2 to the Frontier Works Organisation to speed stalled work.
- Officials also approved short‑term relief and social measures such as a June 1–15 fishing relaxation for fishermen and an MoU to help set up an autism centre in Islamabad while analysts and markets will watch for effects on interprovincial trade and wheat flow.
