Supply Chain Disruption Due to Protests
Ongoing protests by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have led to the closure of highways across the country, severely disrupting the supply chain of fresh produce to local markets.
Soaring Prices of Essential Goods
The transportation of vegetables and fruits has been significantly hampered due to road blockages, causing a sharp rise in prices. Citizens are struggling to afford these essential items as the costs continue to climb.
Vendors Highlight Supply Shortages
Market vendors have attributed the price hike to a shortage of supply caused by restricted movement of goods. They report difficulty in sourcing fresh produce under the current circumstances.
Uncertain Resolution of the Crisis
The disruption is expected to persist as long as road closures and protests continue. This situation has further exacerbated concerns for residents already burdened by rising inflation. Efforts to restore the supply chain remain unclear, with no immediate resolution in sight.
