The Muttahida Nanbai Association has increased the prices of naan and khameeri roti by Rs5 in Lahore. The new rate for both items is now Rs30.
The association said the price of fine flour sacks has jumped from Rs4,500 to Rs5,000. Due to this increase in flour cost, tandoor owners decided to revise the rates.
However, the association added that if their demands are accepted, they will sell naan and khameeri roti for Rs25.
Government’s Response
The Punjab government distanced itself from the price hike. It said the government has no link to the rise in fine flour prices. Officials also confirmed that plain roti is still being sold at the government-approved price of Rs14.
