This move aims to shed light on the ownership structure within the sugar industry—a sector often scrutinized for its pricing policies and market manipulation.

Additionally, Khawaja Abdul Ghani is reported to have full ownership of Tando Allahyar Mills. Moonis Elahi and other stakeholders hold shares in RYK Mills, another major player in the industry.
