  "account": "Authorities in Rahim Yar Khan have taken action against two flour mills for allegedly mixing low-cost broken rice with government-issued wheat to produce flour, according to reports. District Food Controller Niaz Shah sealed Kohistan Flour Mill and Al-Qayum Flour Mill in connection with the allegations. Samples were collected from nine additional mills and sent to laboratories for testing. The broken rice, known locally as \"niko,\" is reportedly sold for around Rs. 3,500 per maund, significantly less than the price of government wheat at approximately Rs. 4,700 per maund. The mills allegedly ground the cheaper broken rice at night to avoid detection during regular inspections. This practice has raised concerns over the monitoring of government wheat supplies and the tracking system for flour mills. The outcome of laboratory testing will determine if the flour meets quality standards and if unauthorized ingredients were used. If confirmed, the implicated mills could face legal consequences.",
