Karachiites will now hacve to pay Rs6 more for flour. The price has been increased for the second time in the past one and a half months. The price of one kilogramme of fine flour has increased to Rs68 and branded flour will now cost Rs60. Flour mill owners have blamed the price hike on the strike by goods transporters. The commissioner issued a notification according to which naan was supposed be sold for Rs10 and chapati for Rs8. However, tandoor owners refused to comply with the notification. “I can’t depute an officer at every tandoor in the city,” the commissioner said when asked about the prices. Residents continue to suffer as they’re forced to buy flour at expensive prices.
