The Naanbai Association has declared a strike set to commence tomorrow, affecting Punjab, including the bustling city of Lahore. The announcement comes as a response to what the Association perceives as a lack of responsiveness from the Lahore district administration regarding their demands.
During the strike, tandoors throughout the province will cease operations, impacting the availability of naan and other tandoor-baked goods.
At the heart of their grievances is the issue of pricing. The Association is urging for the issuance of a new notification regarding the pricing of roti and naan. Specifically, they advocate for keeping the price of naan adjustable while ensuring that wheat flour is supplied according to the demand for more affordable rotis.
This move by the Naanbai Association highlights the significance of affordable staple foods in the region and underscores the ongoing challenges faced by small-scale businesses in navigating pricing regulations. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation.
