  "account": "In Lahore, the price of plain naan has risen by Rs. 5, bringing the average cost to Rs. 35 per naan, as reported by Naanbai Association President Aftab Gill. However, the prices of roti and sesame-topped naan, referred to as khamiri or roghani naan, remain unchanged at Rs. 20. Both plain naan and sesame-topped naan now share the same price of Rs. 35 following the increase.\n\nGill attributes the price hike to two factors: rising costs for tandoor owners and gas load shedding. Tandoor operators are forced to purchase more expensive LPG due to gas shortages, and the cost of fine flour (maida) has surged by Rs. 3,000 per 80 kg sack. The naanbais have been advocating for higher bread prices for months. In July, the association announced a price increase for roti and naan in Lahore, while the district administration threatened legal action against unauthorized price hikes.\n\nTandoor owners across Punjab have also threatened to raise prices independently, caught in a dispute with the Punjab Food Department over official rates. The story of increased naan prices in Lahore first appeared on ProPakistani.",
