Is Pakistan falling apart? Flour shortage deepens, economy crumbles, water crisis worsens |
New Delhi: India has recently imposed restrictions on flour supplies to Pakistan’s twin cities, Rawalpindi and Islamabad, further straining the Islamic nation already grappling with a severe economic crisis. The Punjab Food Department has reportedly halted flour exports, giving rise to tensions in the neighbouring country.

The Rawalpindi Flour Mills Association held an emergency meeting, warning that the production cycle would be entirely paralysed if the ban is not lifted immediately.
