Servers at utility stores across the country have gone down, leaving citizens queued up outside buildings. Due to the disruption, all operations at utility stores have been halted and citizens have been facing serious problems.
According to the authorities, the technical issue has made it impossible to make purchase entries for flour at the affected stores. Hence, these stores are no longer able to supply flour and other goods to citizens, who can now do nothing but wait.
Utility Stores Corporation officials informed the media that the system went down due to the subsidy being divided into 2 parts, but further technical details are still unknown.
It should be noted that a 10 kg bag of flour is available for ordinary citizens at utility stores across the country for Rs. 684. Cheap flour will be available for Rs. 400 only to Benazir Income Support Program cardholders.

The classification of rich and poor for subsidies are nothing but mockery. How can govt cherry picked few items to subsidise on the assumption of average consumption to live a life? And the benazir income support? Why not Fatima Jinnah or any reputed personality?
People with less income needs to be finance by govt monthly rather than assuming every people only need Atta, Cheeni.
