Roti Gets Costlier, People Suffer

The recent increase in bread prices in Kashmir has caused significant hardship for residents, with many criticizing local bakers for the hike. The Kashmiri Bread Makers and Local Bakers Union attributes the rise to a sharp increase in flour prices, which have gone up by ₹500 to ₹600 per quintal compared to last year. While locals urge the administration to take effective steps to control inflation, bakers have assured that they will lower prices if the cost of raw materials decreases.
