TOBA TEK SINGH, Oct 31: Stockists have raised the price of a 100kg sugar bag by Rs30. Stockists told this correspondent on Sunday that the stocks of the Kamalia Sugar Mills, Chaudhry Sugar Mills, Gojra, Kashmir Sugar Mills , Shorkot, and Shakarganj Sugar Mills, Jhang, had almost been exhausted. Millions of sugar bags in these mills were owned by the government.
These bags had been purchased by the government from the mills for export to financially support the millowners when they were demanding a permission to export the commodity some months ago. They said as the sugar stocks were exhausting in the market, its price was increasing day by day.
However, Kamalia Sugar Mills manager Maj Athar (retired) said his mills had a sufficient sugar stock hoping there would be no shortage in Ramazan.
