Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz has announced a reduction in the prices of simple roti.
As per her announcement, the price is reduced to Rs 16 for roti weighing 100 gram while that of Naan is Rs 20 which has to weigh 120 gram.
The prices will be implemented across the province from today, reported Jang.
Maryam Nawaz instructed authorities that all the districts and relevant departments of Punjab have to ensure the strict implementation of the decision.
President Nanbai Association Shafiq Qureshi said that they are ready to reduce the price of bread if the Punjab government gives a subsidy. However, associations across the province rejected the decision of the Punjab government.
Talking about the decision to reduce the price of roti, Shafiq Qureshi said that the price of a bag of fine flour is 12 thousand 200 rupees while the price of ordinary flour is 11 thousand 600 rupees per bag, pointing out that fhe government is not giving any subsidy on gas and electricity. Nanbais use LPG gas which makes it impossible to reduce the price of bread.
