ISLAMABAD The federal government has taken yet another U Turn for thewelfare of the public.

PTI government announced to reduce gas prices for bakers (tandoor owners)to ensure the provision of Roti at lower prices across the country.

The government had, in last month, increased gas prices for the commercialusers which brought a flood of inflation in the country.

Facing a backlash on its decision, the Economic Coordination Committee(ECC) has decided to reduce the prices of gas for bakers so that the pricesof Roti and Naan may return to previous prices.——————————

After the reduction, tandoor owners would get the gas at the previous rate,which was Rs. 700 per mmbtu, instead of the new rate of Rs.980/mmbtu.

The decision was taken following the All Pakistan Nanbai Association hadannounced to increase the rates of Roti due to a rise in gas prices.——————————

However, following the government’s announcement, the association has saidit would retain the current rates of Roti which varied from Rs. 7 to Rs. 10across Pakistan.
