Prices of vegetables and meat have increased significantly in Lahore, causing concern among citizens. According to market sources, tomatoes have reached Rs200 per kg, while garlic is being sold at Rs600 per kg against the official rate of Rs550. Ginger is priced at Rs350 per kg compared to the official Rs285.

Onions, officially priced at Rs62 per kg, are being sold for Rs70–75, while green chilies have jumped to Rs180 per kg against the official Rs105.

Citizens say rising prices have made basic food items unaffordable, urging the government to take action. Shopkeepers, however, blame increased transportation costs.

Meanwhile, chicken meat is being sold at Rs600 per kg, while mutton has surged to Rs3,000–3,300 per kg in the market.
