The price of a 20-kilogram bag of flour has soared to PKR 2,500, breaking all previous records, according to a report by City42.
This significant increase has severely affected consumers who are already overburdened with crippling inflation.
The surge in flour prices is attributed to various factors, including disruptions in wheat supply chains, increased production costs, and inflationary pressures.
These challenges have led to a substantial rise in the cost of essential food items, impacting households across the nation.
Experts suggest that immediate measures are necessary to stabilize the market and alleviate the burden on consumers.
Recommendations include enhancing domestic wheat production, improving supply chain efficiency, and implementing targeted subsidies for low-income families.
They have urged the government to take swift action to address the underlying causes of the price hike and ensure that essential food items remain accessible to all segments of society.

Another failure for our plastic doll cm
Nothing new. The mafia becomes more active in situations like these. They would have made the floods an excuse to torture the public. Such is the faith of Muslims of this country. They will leave no opportunity to fill their pockets. And the government? It is busy in dramas and photo opportunities.
The country has become a banana republic where there is no rule of law. Everyone is concerned about filling their pockets. Money can come from anywhere.
