Caretaker Chief Minister Sindh Justice (R) Maqbool Baqer held a meeting with caretaker Chief Minister Punjab Mohsin Naqvi at his office in Karachi.
The discussion encompassed a range of issues, focusing on sugarcane pricing. CM Naqvi conveyed that the support price for sugarcane has been established at 400 rupees per maund in Punjab. In response, the Sindh CM deliberated that, after careful consideration, their government has set the sugarcane price at 425 rupees per maund in Sindh. This decision was justified by the higher costs associated with sugarcane cultivation compared to Punjab. Additionally, he underscored the maintenance of the wheat support price at Rs.4000 per maund for the benefit of farmers.
Shifting attention to development projects in Karachi, CM Punjab shared intentions for a Lahore Development Authority team to visit Karachi. The team aims to engage with counterparts in the Karachi Development Authority and Karachi Metropolitan Corporation.
During the meeting, substantial discussions unfolded regarding the operation in Kacha areas. Both chief ministers reached a consensus to initiate a joint grand operation against the dacoits, considering the decreasing river levels due to winter.
Sindh CM affirmed that the necessary weaponry had been procured for the operation. He added that once the preparations by the IGs from Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan are finalized, the operation will be set into motion.
