The district administration’s checking is limited only to hotels and bazaar tandoors, while hundreds of nanbais in densely populated areas, streets and in rural areas have made it a routine to defy the provincial price list and sell bread at a price of their choice instead of the official weight and price.
The nanbais said that the provincial government has only decreased the rate of flour. They added that they are paying high bills of Suigas and electricity.
