According to reports in Islamabad, the price per kilogram has risen from Rs450 to an astonishing price of Rs880, and of the live chicken from Rs285 to Rs460 per kilogram. Chicken prices for Desi have been raised to an unprecedented high of Rs900 per kilogram, proving a massive financial burden on all consumers in the country. The capital of Punjab, Lahore, is experiencing the same scenario. The rate of broiler chicken meat has crossed Rs700 per kilogram, far above the price fixed by the government at Rs595. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Peshawar, the price of chicken has increased by Rs70 per kilogram, and it now stands at Rs510 over the weekend. The general price hike indicates that consumers are facing severe difficulties as the prices of necessary commodities continue to increase despite efforts by the government to control inflation. It has an impact on prices across the nation, with prices being hiked in various cities, including Lahore and Peshawar. The government has been under a lot of pressure to control inflation and stabilize prices of essential commodities as consumers bear the brunt of the chicken price hike. This situation has also raised a question about the efficiency of mechanisms for price control and their implementation. Chicken is a staple item in most households in Pakistan. The inflation further adds to the burden on households. The government needs to enhance its efforts against inflation and the availability of products at reasonable prices for consumers. . . . #ChickenPriceHike #InflationInPakistan #PriceSurge #CostOfLiving #PakistanEconomy #EssentialCommodities #ChickenMeat #Lahore #Islamabad #Peshawer #GovernmentIntervention #ConsumerStruggles #FoodPrices #PakistanNews #EconomicPressure #Tribunetrends

As Ramazan approaches, sugar prices have skyrocketed across Pakistan, causing widespread distress among citizens and pushing shopkeepers to demand accountability. In just a week, sugar prices have surged by Rs12 per kilogram in Lahore, with wholesale prices rising from Rs6,800 to Rs7,400 per 50kg sack. Retail prices are now touching Rs150 per kg in Karachi, and speculators are fueling the price hike, especially in major cities. Reports suggest that the sugar mafia is once again manipulating prices, with speculators using platforms like WhatsApp to trade sugar after markets close, further driving up the costs. With the sugar crushing season in full swing and sufficient stocks available, experts are calling for regulation and FIA raids to intervene before the situation worsens. Citizens and shopkeepers are urging the authorities to take swift action to stabilize the sugar market, especially with Ramazan around the corner. The sugar mafia’s actions are making it harder for the common man to afford essential items during this holy month. #TrendingPakistan #SugarPrices #Ramazan #PriceHike #SugarMafia #Accountability #PakistanNews #Inflation #CitizensProtest
