Flour dealers say that disruptions in wheat supply from Punjab are causing a shortage of flour in the market, which is driving prices upward.

 They warned that if the situation continues, flour could become even more expensive in the coming days.

Meanwhile, citizens have expressed concern over the sudden rise in flour prices and urged the government to take immediate measures to control prices.
