MILK PRICES SURGE AMID KARACHI'S ECONOMIC CRISIS AND INFLATION

Pakistan is grappling with ongoing economic challenges as inflation increasingly impacts daily life, making essential goods like milk less affordable. The rising cost of living is a major concern, worsened by energy shortages and fluctuating global commodity prices, which have collectively raised prices for basic necessities.

In Karachi, the country's largest city and economic hub, voices of frustration and concern echo through its bustling streets. M. Akhter, a resident grappling with the realities of inflation, highlights the plight of daily wage workers and laborers who bear the brunt of these price increases. "The soaring prices of essentials like milk and Ghee have made it increasingly difficult to sustain our households," he laments, urging the government to prioritize the welfare of its citizens amidst these challenging economic circumstances.
