Ongoing PTI Protests Lead to Supply Chain Disruptions, Causing Surge in Vegetable and Fruit Prices
The ongoing protests by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have caused significant disruptions across the country, with key highways being blocked, severely affecting the transportation of essential goods, particularly vegetables and fruits, to local markets.
The road closures have led to delays in the supply of fresh produce, resulting in a notable price increase. Citizens have reported a sharp rise in the cost of vegetables and fruits, making it increasingly difficult for many families to afford essential items. Market vendors have pointed to supply shortages as the primary reason for the price hike, citing the restricted movement of goods due to the protests.

This disruption in the supply chain is expected to continue as long as the protests and road blockages persist, contributing to the financial strain on residents already dealing with rising inflation. Efforts to restore the normal flow of goods remain uncertain, with no immediate resolution to the ongoing unrest in sight. The situation continues to worsen for those reliant on affordable access to daily necessities.
