The Punjab Government has officially reactivated the 8070 Muft Atta Program 2026 as part of the broader Nigehban Ramzan Relief Package. In a significant shift from previous years, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has ordered that free flour (Muft Atta) will no longer be distributed through chaotic truck points. Instead, it will be delivered directly to the doorsteps of deserving families or provided via the new ATM Card system to ensure dignity and safety.
According to the latest details in our CM Updates, the 8070 SMS service is now fully functional. Families can check their eligibility immediately to secure their 10kg Free Flour bags along with other essential ration items like sugar, ghee, and rice.
This live update covers the new registration method, eligibility criteria, and how to ensure you are on the list for free flour distribution starting next week.
How to Register for Free Flour (Muft Atta)
The government has simplified the process into two easy methods. You do not need to visit any office if you have a mobile phone.
