Severe Price Hike Hits Rahim Yar Khan Before Ramadan

 Rahim Yar Khan residents are facing soaring prices on essential items including vegetables, fruits, meat, rice, lentils, and ghee ahead of Ramadan. Citizens report that market rates are far above government-set prices, while price control magistrates are virtually absent.

Despite reports to the district administration suggesting all is fine, ground realities reveal rampant overcharging by shopkeepers. Efforts to control prices appear ineffective, leaving low-income households struggling.

Authorities must take urgent action to protect citizens and ensure fair pricing before the holy month of Ramadan.
