The article highlights a significant price surge for fruits and vegetables in Pakistan, with lemons now costing between Rs 1,000-1,200 per kilogram (€5.01-€6.01) in Bachat bazaars, supposedly affordable markets. These markets are allegedly selling lemons at high prices and refusing to buy them at reasonable rates. The situation worsened when the federal government canceled the purchase of the Ramadan package from stores on Saturday, contributing to further price hikes.
