As Ramadan approaches, food prices across Pakistan have risen sharply, making it difficult for many people to afford basic items. Essential foods such as fruits, vegetables, and meat are being sold at high prices, well above the official rates. This has caused frustration among citizens who are already struggling with inflation.
In cities like Lahore and Rawalpindi, the prices of fruits and vegetables have gone up significantly. Meanwhile, in Sukkur, the cost of chicken and eggs has also increased. Despite the government setting price lists, many sellers continue to ignore them, forcing consumers to pay more than they should.
With the start of Ramadan, people are demanding stronger price controls to stop profiteering. They are calling on the authorities to take strict action against those charging unfair prices. Many believe that better enforcement of price regulations is necessary to help ease the financial burden on families during the holy month.
