The Utility Stores have fallen short of essential items, 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Saturday 

People have been making a litany of complaints, calling for ensuring the supply to the stores as Ramazan is around the corner.

The stores lacked subsidized flour and pulses too. Citizens have been returning empty-handed.

Ghee, oil and other such essential items have been falling short for three months while the stores have been running short of the subsidized flour for two weeks.

An elderly woman said she has been visiting the stores for weeks but to no avail.

The high-ups, she added should look into the matter to provide the poor with relief as the holy month of Ramazan is nearing  Consumers said that it is still unclear where the free flour will come from.
