Roti price in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa increased by Rs5 to Rs20 weeks after the provincial government revised down the rates.
Deputy Commissioner Peshawar has also issued a notification, fixing the price of 125-gram roti at Rs20. Previously, the price of 120-gram roti was fixed at Rs15. The district administration said the roti prices have been revised in light of recommendations made by the price review committee.
Meanwhile, there is no change in roti prices in Punjab where the price stands at Rs14 while wheat flour prices are waiting also stable.
It should be noted that soon after assuming office in March of this year, Chief Minister of Punjab Maryam Nawaz directed a decrease in roti prices, as wheat prices had dropped due to a bumper crop in the province. Following the Punjab government’s lead, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur also announced a decrease in roti prices. However, the provincial government was unable to maintain the lower prices.
