Naan Price Rs150 in Murree restaurant owner faces legal action

In a surprising turn of events, the owner of a renowned restaurant situated on Mall Road in Murree has found themselves in hot water after allegedly charging an exorbitant amount for a staple food item.

A case has been registered against the establishment following complaints of selling naan at a staggering price of Rs 150 each, significantly higher than the district administration’s official rate of Rs 27 per naan.

The incident unfolded when a local resident, who frequented the restaurant, was handed a bill of Rs 450 for three naans during a recent visit.

Shocked by the seemingly inflated prices, the concerned citizen reported the matter to the authorities, prompting swift action from the district administration.

The First Information Report (FIR) filed against the restaurant owner outlines the alleged wrongdoing, accusing the establishment of exploiting customers by overcharging for a basic food item.

Such actions not only burden consumers but also undermine the government’s efforts to regulate prices and ensure fair business practices.

Officials from the district administration have expressed their commitment to upholding consumer rights and maintaining price integrity within the region.

They assert that the official price of Rs 27 for a naan is designed to ensure affordability and accessibility for all residents and visitors.
