The system will still not improve. News was reported from Muzaffar Garh (City in Punjab) that 60 year old women died to get free flour.
The poor lady was waiting for the gate of the flour point to open so that she too could get free flour. When suddenly the doors open people started pushing each other to get the free flour.
In this crowd, weak old women could not survive and died. According to rescue team they have tried to save her but unfortunately she could not survive. The DC here also said the same words “We will investigate this further.” It should be remembered that a person from Charsadda had died before this incident.
And eight people were injured. Punjab government has distributed over more than 5 million bags of free flour. The 10 kilogram bag of flour is for public to provide them a good relief during Ramadan. According to report the government decided to provide more bags of free flour in coming days.
The announcement from government to provide free flour for poor and needy people during Ramadan is good relief and good step they had taken. The prices are rising day by day in our country.
The price of flour in market is also increasing day by day, getting free flour is no less than a blessing for the poor. But the government should make a proper arrangement. How long will the weak and poor people stand in lines during fasting to get free flour?
And it is good for the people to show patience. Do not push each other, if you have enough food to eat, help poor and needy people. Pakistan is currently going through a difficult situation.
In such a situation, each one of us need to play his role. So that our country will be free from these problems.
