According to specifics, the Deputy Commissioner has been directed by the court to determine the price of naan after consulting with Naanbais, following the hearing of a petition against the new roti prices. The authorities were given a three-day deadline by the court to provide a report on the revised prices.

During the hearing of the case, Justice Tariq Jahangiri stated that the court would not only defend the rights of the underprivileged but also make sure that roti and naan costs are reasonable.

The state attorney claimed that the Advocate General would support the court in this case. Judge Jahangiri warned that the court would not wait for him if he did not show up.

Judge Jahangiri noted that while the price of roti is not a problem for the wealthy, it is a matter of survival for the underprivileged.

The notification of the federal capital’s naan and roti price reductions was earlier suspended by the Islamabad High Court (IHC).

The controller general reduced the price of roti from Rs25 to Rs16 and naan from Rs30 to Rs20, according to the Naanbai Welfare Association’s request.

The association argued that before making the decision, the relevant authorities did not consult with them. He informed the court that the new prices were too low and that they were not consulted in the decision-making process.

Earlier, the Rawalpindi district administration had sealed dozens of tandoors and confiscated the equipment used to observe the protest against the government’s naan and roti rates.

Nanbais and the provincial government clashed when Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz lowered naan and roti prices throughout the region.

The first female chief minister declared on X (formerly Twitter) that the Punjab government had fixed the price of roti (flat bread baked in a tandoor) at Rs 16.

The new roti pricing will take effect right now.
