They demanded that the price of naan and roti should be revised as the existing prices fail to reflect the economic realities they encounter. Furthermore, the association said that when the government is asking to sell cheap bread, flour should also be provided based on cheap bread.
Last month, Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz announced to fix the price of bread at Rs.16 across the province which received a grieved response from Nanbais. They refused to sell and demanded to fix the new price of bread.
In this regard, the Nanbai association also moved the court against the decrease in roti prices which suspended the notification of revision in bread prices.
