The provincial administration of Punjab has made the decision to lower food costs in all of the province’s restaurants and cafes. The reports claim that burgers, daal, karaahi, and other menu items will be drastically reduced in price.
The district government will bargain with the restaurant association to lower the pricing, reports claimed. In the past, the provincial government declared a price cut for bakery goods and gave the proprietors a deadline to comply.
After that, Rafia Haider, the Deputy Commissioner for Lahore, said that the maximum cost of 750g of bread was set at Rs. 180, as opposed to the former rate of Rs. 220 to Rs. 250.
The Deputy Commissioner further mentioned that 400-gram bread was formerly priced between Rs. 120 and Rs. 140, but now it just costs Rs. 95. The official states that these new rates are in force right now.
However implementation of such decisions remains a major concern for public.
