LAHORE, Jan 24: The Pakistan Flour Mills Association on Thursday threatened to move courts against what they called undue interference by the Rangers and official attempts to hamper inter-district, leave alone inter-provincial, flour movement.

In a press statement, the association said that flour situation had started improving only with increasing wheat releases by the government agencies rather than induction of the Rangers as being portrayed by certain quarters.

The government agencies, as pleaded by the association, increased wheat releases and also started monitoring flour movement even within districts. Even cases had been and were being registered against such movement and such an undeclared ban was against the law, business interest of the millers and consumers.

The mannerism of the Rangers was more questionable, and the millers were being scared into restricting their business within specific geographic boundaries without any legal cover for such a pressure, they said.
