Rising inflation

People are using up their savings to sustain themselves

TURBAT: With the new PTI-led government of Pakistan in power, the country has witnessed a surge in inflation with each passing day, especially in metropolitan cities like Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

Prices of almost all goods have increased, affecting the working class in Pakistan so much so that many have started reducing their expenditure by cutting down on eating meat or fruits. It is unfair that the prices of goods have increased while salaries remain stagnant.

People are using up their savings to sustain themselves. I Prime Minister Imran Khan-led PTI government should take notice of the increasing inflation. The people, especially the working class of the country needs support.
