The\u00a0<\/span>action<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>being<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>taken<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>following<\/span>\u00a0a\u00a0<\/span>sudden<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>surge<\/span>\u00a0in the\u00a0<\/span>price<\/span>\u00a0of flour, fine flour, and commercial gas cylinders, which tandoor operators\u00a0<\/span>maintain<\/span>\u00a0has\u00a0<\/span>rendered<\/span>\u00a0it impossible to\u00a0<\/span>sell<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>bread at\u00a0<\/span>existing<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>prices<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The <\/span>rates<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of a 40kg sack of\u00a0<\/span>common<\/span>\u00a0flour\u00a0<\/span>have<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>reached<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Rs. 6,000, while fine flour\u00a0<\/span>has<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>reached<\/span>\u00a0Rs. 7,200 per sack<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>an increase of Rs. 500 and Rs. 600 respectively in\u00a0<\/span>merely<\/span>\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span>last<\/span>\u00a0week<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>alone, as per Shafeeq\u00a0<\/span>Abbasi<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>central<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>president<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>association. The rates\u00a0<\/span>are still\u00a0<\/span>on the rise<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>said<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Abbasi,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>adding\u00a0<\/span>pressure on small\u00a0<\/span>and medium enterprises<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Adding<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to\u00a0<\/span>the crisis<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is that\u00a0<\/span>tandoor owners\u00a0<\/span>are<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>saying\u00a0<\/span>that Sui gas and LNG supplies<\/a> have been suspended, so they have to <\/span>use<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>commercial gas cylinders, which\u00a0<\/span>currently<\/span>\u00a0cost Rs14,000\u00a0<\/span>per cylinder<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>“<\/span>No tandoor has access to Sui gas<\/span>\u00a0despite the scorching heat<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>All<\/span>\u00a0tandoor\u00a0<\/span>operators<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>have<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to\u00a0<\/span>purchase<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>costly<\/span>\u00a0commercial gas cylinders to\u00a0<\/span>function,”<\/span> Abbasi said. He <\/span>further<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>informed\u00a0<\/span>that the\u00a0<\/span>problem<\/span>\u00a0is\u00a0<\/span>compounded<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>by\u00a0<\/span>increasing<\/span>\u00a0electricity tariffs,\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>hike in\u00a0<\/span>shop rents, and\u00a0<\/span>enhanced<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>remuneration<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0workers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>cost<\/span>\u00a0of\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>basic\u00a0<\/span>ingredients\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>ghee, oil, and dry milk\u00a0<\/span>has<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>increased<\/span>, making it\u00a0<\/span>“<\/span>impossible to sell affordable bread<\/span>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In\u00a0<\/span>an<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>attempt<\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>resolve<\/span>\u00a0these\u00a0<\/span>issues<\/span>, the association has\u00a0<\/span>demanded<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>collective<\/span>\u00a0convention of naanbai\u00a0<\/span>organizations<\/span>\u00a0from Islamabad and all\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>districts of Punjab in Rawalpindi after Eid al-Adha. <\/span>The<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>members will decide\u00a0<\/span>there<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>if<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>new, higher prices for bread and naan\u00a0<\/span>should<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>officially<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>be<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>announced or\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>total<\/span>\u00a0strike and\u00a0<\/span>demonstration be initiated<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Abbasi\u00a0<\/span>called<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>on\u00a0<\/span>the government and\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>Deputy Commissioners to\u00a0<\/span>step<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>in\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>announce<\/span>\u00a0new, realistic\u00a0<\/span>bread<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>product<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>prices<\/span>. He\u00a0<\/span>threatened<\/span>\u00a0that if their\u00a0<\/span>request<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0not\u00a0<\/span>granted<\/span>, the All Punjab Tandoor Owners Convention will be compelled to adopt <\/span>drastic<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>actions<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>such<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>as<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>potential<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>closure\u00a0<\/span>of tandoors\u00a0<\/span>throughout<\/span>\u00a0the region.<\/p>\n
