Minister Bilal Yasin highlighted the positive impact of the price reduction, noting that the lower flour costs have also led to decreased prices of Roti and Naan, further benefiting the consumers. He emphasized that the administration is committed to ensuring that Roti and Naan are available at these reduced, notified prices throughout Punjab.
According to Minister Bilal Yasin, the Punjab government’s primary goal is to alleviate the hardships faced by the common man. He assured that the government is taking all necessary steps to guarantee the provision of affordable flour across the province. This initiative is part of a broader effort to manage the cost of living and enhance the quality of life for every resident in Punjab.
