From electricity bills to basic food items; everything has become unaffordable for the average Pakistani. Salaries remain the same, but monthly expenses have nearly doubled. The working classes, students and daily wage earners are the worst affected. Many families are forced to skip meals or rely on loans just to survive. This situation is a humanitarian crisis. I humbly urge the government to take urgent steps to control the cost-of-living. Subsidies on essential goods, strict action against hoarders and a fair wage policy are needed now more than ever.
