The price of milk and yoghurt has been consecutively increasing in the capital of Punjab, Lahore.
Lahore consumers are paying more for milk and yoghurt as the district administration struggles to enforce official prices in the open market.
Milk is officially priced at Rs170 per litre, but retailers in several parts of the city are reportedly selling it for as much as Rs240 per litre. This means consumers are paying up to Rs70 more per litre than the notified rate.
Yoghurt is also being sold at prices of up to Rs250 per kilogram, according to consumers.
The higher prices have prompted anger among residents, who have called on the Lahore district administration to take action against sellers charging above the official rates.
Citizens have also urged authorities to conduct regular market inspections and ensure that retailers comply with the notified prices of essential dairy products.

Vehicle owners will pay Rs15,000 annually for tinted window permit
The federal government has announced changes to its policy, requiring people who wish to use tinted car windows to obtain a tinted window permit.
Under the new policy, people will have to pay Rs15,000 per year for a permit.
The changes are not yet final, as the Ministry of Interior has prepared a revised draft following recommendations from the Senate Standing Committee.
The proposal also said that serving and former members of Parliament would be able to obtain tinted glass permits without paying the annual fee.
Tinted windows are currently generally illegal for the general public under existing traffic laws, and authorities continue to fine motorists and remove illegal window films during enforcement drives.
The proposed policy has not yet been approved or implemented. It remains a draft and will only take effect after final approval by the Ministry of Interior.
