Punjab residents hit by fresh hike in roti prices as tandoor owners revise rates

LAHORE: Citizens across Punjab have been jolted by a renewed increase in roti prices after tandoor owners announced a sudden change in rates.

In Lahore, roti will now be sold at Rs15, while in some parts of the province, the price has reached Rs20 per piece.

Previously, roti was widely available at Rs14 across Punjab, but the latest increase has added to the financial burden on locals.

Areas where prices have been increased include Shad Bagh, Samanabad, Iqbal Town, and other localities.

Tandoor owners attribute the hike to rising prices of LPG gas and flour, adding that if gas and flour prices decrease, roti rates will also be reduced accordingly.

The President of the Nan Roti Association said that gas supply remains irregular and LPG is being sold at very high prices.

He further said that they will formally approach the administration to seek an official revision in roti prices.
