Lahore
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz started the roti and naan price cuts earlier this month:

In line with Punjab’s province-wide directive, Multan has also implemented the revised prices:

The local administration has begun monitoring tandoors to ensure adherence to the new rates.
Flour Price Reductions (Nationwide)
These changes come after the reduction in flour prices for both wholesale and retail.

|---|---|---|
| Grade-2 Flour | 83 | 87 |
| Fine Flour | 88 | 92 |

However, market reports indicate some areas still selling fine flour between Rs90–100/kg and chakki flour between Rs110–115/kg.
