PAKISTAN APPEALS FOR FOOD GRAINS
(Rec. 10.35 a.m.) KARACHI, October 11. Pakistan has applied to the International Emergency Food Council for 160,000 tons of food grain, following the heavy destruction of the wheat and rice crops by floods. The Pakistan Food Minister, Pirzadar Abdussatar, said: “This is our minimum demand. If we don’t get it there is no use in our remaining a member of the organisation.” He added that the flood losses prevented Pakistan fulfilling orders from India, thus causing dissolution of the food agreement.
