LAHORE, Sept 28: Over 60 mills in Balochistan are closed for the last six months because of non-availability of wheat in the province, said Abdul Aala Kakar, newly-elected chairman of the Pakistan Flour Mills Association (PFMA), here on Tuesday.

In spite of the decision by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, Punjab has not lifted ban on the movement and a proof of the act was closure of mills in the province, said Mr Kakar.

"Thousands of workers are sitting at their homes and the fear is that it may cause social chaos in the province if corrective measures are not taken in time."
