He said there was no check on price hike in the province and the prices of different commodities of common use were out of the reach of the common man, adding that hoarders have created a price hike crisis.
He said that the 20 kg bag of flour was being sold at Rs 3300 while the price of roti (bread) has increased to Rs 30.
