In several areas of Lahore, 10kg and 20kg flour bags have become scarce, traders said. The price of a 15kg flour bag in the city has increased from Rs1,500 to Rs1,750.
Wheat prices in Lahore have now reached up to Rs4,450 per maund. In Gujranwala and Gujrat, wheat is being sold at up to Rs4,500 per maund, while prices in Rawalpindi have climbed as high as Rs4,800 per maund.
