Lahore Bakers Raise Naan Prices to 35 Rupees

News Desk

LAHORE: The price of naan has surged by 5 rupees, now costing 35 rupees in the provincial capital, while the price of roti remains unchanged at 20 rupees. This increase comes as local bakers and naan makers respond to rising operational costs.

According to reports, the price hike was implemented by naan shop owners in Lahore, who cited increased expenses for flour and other ingredients as the primary reason for the adjustment. Local consumers are expressing concern over the rising cost of staple foods, which could further strain household budgets.

This price increase is part of a broader trend of inflation affecting various sectors in Pakistan, raising alarms about food security and the economic burden on low-income families. As essential food items become more expensive, many citizens fear that their purchasing power will diminish, leading to potential unrest.

In response to the situation, local authorities are expected to hold meetings with bakers to discuss the sustainability of food prices and explore possible subsidies or support measures for consumers. The government is under pressure to address these inflationary trends to ensure that basic necessities remain affordable for all.
