MINGORA, Aug 24 Seven sasti roti tandoors (ovens) have been set up here for the people of violence-ravaged Swat valley.

Swat media centre spokesman Colonel Akhtar said roti at these tandoors would be sold at Rs2 to the people of Gulshan Chowk, Green Chowk, Nawi Kalley Chowk, and Balogram. He said the army had provided free of cost wheat flour to these tandoors so they were bound to provide sasti roti at Rs2 to the affected people.
