00:18In Karachi and the whole of Sindh, there are about 250 flour mills that have been shut down.

00:22The supply of flour has been shut down since morning.

00:25On behalf of the flour mill association, it was said that the withholding tax should be withdrawn.

00:29This will increase the price of flour and it will not become a withholding agent.

00:46We have one worker with us. Let's ask him.

00:49If the flour mills have been shut down, then our livelihood is completely over.

00:52And our stoves will be shut down. We are poor people. What will we do?

00:55If the flour mills have been shut down, then our livelihood will be completely over.

01:00Then we will be on the road.

01:03There are more than 2000 flour mills in the whole of Pakistan.

01:05And there are lakhs of workers who are sitting unemployed in the mills.

01:09The one who works on a daily basis, his daily wage is Rs. 500, Rs. 1000, Rs. 1500.
