A video of selling rice in USAID bags at a shop in Larkana is going viral, after which action was taken against the owner of the shop.

The shop was immediately sealed by the Mukhtarkar Larkana while the sale of Bardana was stopped pending an impartial inquiry into the matter.

In the market of Larkana, instead of giving rice to the flood victims in USAID, it is being sold in the open market. The government is still not ashamed. That’s why our foreign minister is visiting America again and again to keep this illegal business going. pic.twitter.com/pjY0Qqf6uk
