00:00 We'll keep talking about the match because it's the only entertainment of our life.
00:04 A cricket match.
00:05 We'll keep expressing our emotions on it.
00:07 You can talk about my haircut.
00:08 Oh my God!
00:09 It's your new haircut.
00:10 It's amazing.
00:11 Whenever guys get a new haircut, they know.
00:15 Right?
00:15 I shouldn't have used that word.
00:17 They look like they've been cut.
00:19 Yes, like a dog's tail.
00:21 The thing is, there are so many problems that small happiness matters.
00:27 When petrol was cheaper, when dollar was coming down,
00:31 now you can see that the car makers have also reduced their car prices because dollar has come down.
00:37 Because they are not getting sales.
00:39 But, fruits, vegetables, chickpeas, etc. are not coming down.
00:44 One thing, Ashfaq, tell me.
00:47 That salary, that income that I earn by giving my hard work and time,
00:54 I pay tax on that.
00:56 After that, the money that I get from tax, I go to the market, buy everything,
01:03 And then you pay tax on it.
01:04 Yes, I pay tax on it.
01:05 And if I buy something from a place like a vegetable vendor, who will pay tax on it?
01:09 They pay tax on their own free will.
01:10 And what tax do they pay?
01:11 Yes, what tax do they pay?
01:12 Okay, one thing is that, on top of that, there should be a reduction in all worldly things.
01:19 And those who are connected to petrol, or because of the dollar-rupee disparity,
01:25 they have now seen a little difference.
01:27 Now, there is some relief here and there.
01:29 I only saw relief on cooking oil.
01:31 Then, apart from that, I heard that there is a little relief in the prices of rice.
01:34 But, apart from that, the prices of all the packaged things are the same.
01:41 Fruits, vegetables, etc.
01:43 If I talk about Karachi, people don't like cauliflower.
01:50 But, what is the price of cauliflower?
01:52 It is Rs. 160 per kilo.
01:53 Onions are Rs. 100.
01:55 Onions are Rs. 120.
01:57 Ginger is Rs. 800.
01:59 It is not yet Rs. 800.
02:00 By the way, there are two levels in ginger.
02:02 One level has not come below Rs. 250.
02:05 That is, it is Rs. 1000 per kilo.
02:07 This level is the second level.
02:09 In the same way, garlic is used a lot in cooking.
02:13 It is being told that it is Rs. 500 per kilo.
02:15 Peas are Rs. 350.
02:17 If the season of peas goes on,
02:19 then those peas are not of that kind that they can be eaten.
02:22 Tomatoes are Rs. 150.
02:24 Chicken meat is being sold for Rs. 550.
02:26 Packed things that you were talking about,
02:28 they are not ready to give relief to the public.
02:31 The multinational companies are not ready to give relief to the public.
02:33 Let's talk about this.
02:34 The basic thing is that the price of flour has not been seen to be low.
02:37 Let's talk about the prices of flour.
02:39 You will see the list of the representatives of the country on your television screens.
02:41 Faizullah Khan is with us from Karachi.
02:43 Thank you, Faizullah.
02:45 In addition to this, Usman Danish is with us from Peshawar.
02:47 Mirza Ahmed Ali is with us from Multan.
02:49 And we have Atia Karam from Quetta.
02:53 So, starting from Karachi,
02:55 Faizullah Khan,
02:57 this is mini Pakistan.
02:59 I have heard that there are prices of flour in different places.
03:02 That is, there is flour in some places and there is flour in some places.
03:05 If there is no control over the prices of flour, then it is like this.
03:07 But I was anticipating that the prices have dropped.
03:10 So, their effect will be on the prices of vegetables, fruits, and meat.
03:15 But I have not seen this.
03:17 Have you seen this anywhere?
03:19 Thank you very much, Ashfaq.
03:21 You said in the beginning of your conversation that
03:23 thousands of desires are such that every desire comes true.
03:26 So, people want that when the dollar is falling,
03:30 the prices should also be reduced.
03:32 But the situation is that no matter how much the dollar falls,
03:34 it cannot fall below the Pakistani profit-makers.
03:37 It is somewhere below this.
03:41 And they sell things at their desired prices.
03:44 Sadaf was telling that tomatoes are Rs. 150 per kg.
03:48 So, there is no difference for their price.
03:50 Shahb-ud-Din Market is a big market where I am standing.
03:53 Here, tomatoes are sold for Rs. 200 per kg.
03:56 And along with this, peas are not for Rs. 350.
03:59 Here, it is for Rs. 400.
04:00 And this is a big market.
04:02 You can guess from this that when you go to your area,
04:05 and buy things from there,
04:07 then you can increase the prices.
04:10 So, this is not just a matter of this place.
04:12 In all the markets, it is still early morning.
04:15 If I look around, the vegetables are still being sold.
04:19 They are being cleaned and displayed in their shops.
04:22 These are very interesting vegetables.
04:24 I want to taste them and eat them.
04:28 But, after listening to the prices, I feel that everyone's taste is like chilies.
04:33 Because everyone's price is such that you will get the same taste of cucumber, cabbage, peas, ginger, garlic.
04:40 Tell me one thing, Faiz.
04:42 Early morning, you said that there are very fresh vegetables.
04:45 The shopkeepers are keeping them shiny.
04:47 They are telling the prices too.
04:49 They are getting the notes printed.
04:50 When we went at night, the look of the vegetables that we saw,
04:54 I mean, two days ago, sometimes when vegetables come to the house,
04:58 they ask, "What kind of tomatoes are these? What kind of coriander is this? What kind of mint is this?"
05:02 Are they giving the same price?
05:04 At that time, the prices are a little less.
05:06 Yes, yes, the price is the same.
05:08 Look, if they have leftover vegetables from last night,
05:12 they have to sell them at the same price that they get more at the market today.
05:18 The second thing is that the price of petrol is decreasing.
05:20 We also saw the dollar coming down.
05:22 But you don't see the effect of all these things in the market.
05:26 And it's not just about fruits and vegetables.
05:29 Everything is increasing at the same prices.
05:32 You don't see a decrease in prices in fruits.
05:35 And fruits are such a thing that most people now take for the use of their sick people,
05:40 those who are present in the house.
05:44 Usually, the use of fruits has been almost banned.
05:47 Because its prices are now imagined in the sense of entertainment.
05:51 That there is no fruit left in everyone's hand.
05:54 Vegetables were considered the cheapest thing.
05:57 And as Ashfaq said, there are different levels of vegetables here.
06:01 So their prices are also the same.
06:03 Let's go to Multan and talk to Mirza Ahmed Ali.
06:07 Mirza Ahmed Ali, tell us what rates will you tell from there?
06:10 As Faiz is saying, money is increasing on a daily basis.
06:14 And the relief that was to be received,
06:16 the Minister of Finance had also said that the people should be relieved.
06:19 Are you seeing that in the price of vegetables and fruits?
06:22 Yes, absolutely.
06:25 Let's talk about Multan.
06:26 After the decrease in the price of petroleum,
06:28 there is no special relief that was being said by the government.
06:32 There is a small shortage, which is also in a few things.
06:34 Like ginger is sold in two types of markets.
06:37 One is sold for 800 to 850 rupees per kilo.
06:39 And the other is sold for 650 to 600 rupees per kilo.
06:43 If we talk about garlic, it is sold for 520 rupees per kilo.
06:46 Lemon is sold for 200 rupees per kilo.
06:48 Peas are sold for 400 to 450 rupees per kilo.
06:52 Capsicum is also sold for 200 to 250 rupees per kilo.
06:55 So there is no clear shortage in the price of vegetables.
06:58 In fact, the daily rate is increasing.
07:00 If we talk about fruits, fruits are also expensive.
07:02 Apples are sold for 200 to 300 rupees per kilo.
07:05 Japanese fruit is sold for 150 rupees per kilo.
07:07 Grapes are sold for 400 rupees per kilo.
07:09 And let me tell you that the prices of hot spices are not decreasing at all.
07:16 If we talk about cinnamon, it is sold for 1200 rupees per kilo.
07:20 In this, the price has increased by 150 rupees per kilo.
07:22 Black pepper is sold for 1500 rupees per kilo with 100 rupees per kilo.
07:26 Cumin is sold for 200 rupees per kilo.
07:28 And it has reached to 2600 rupees per kilo.
07:31 It has reached to 2600 to 2800 rupees per kilo.
07:34 While cloves are sold for 4000 rupees per kilo.
07:37 400 rupees per kilo has increased in the last week.
07:40 Is this the one that is sold for 400 rupees per kilo?
07:44 Yes, according to the price, it is the one that is sold for 400 rupees per kilo.
07:52 If we talk about nutmeg, it is sold for 3000 rupees per kilo.
07:55 It has also increased by 400 rupees per kilo.
07:58 While, the water is also used in hot spices.
08:02 The rate is 6000 rupees per kilo.
08:05 Small shopkeepers are selling hot spices.
08:07 Mr. Mirza, just tell me one thing.
08:09 You are telling the increased rate.
08:11 These things like nutmeg, cumin and cloves are sold in a very low price.
08:18 Black pepper is sold for 100 rupees per kilo.
08:21 What was the price before this?
08:24 For example, you said that cloves are sold for 4000 rupees per kilo.
08:27 While, the nutmeg is sold for 6000 rupees per kilo.
08:29 What were the rates before this?
08:30 And how much difference has there been?
08:32 During the last week, the price of dry hot spices has increased by 400 rupees per kilo.
08:40 It has increased from 100 rupees to 400 rupees per kilo.
08:43 During the last one and a half to two weeks.
08:46 If we find out the price of these spices from the market, it is not less at all.
08:50 Small shopkeepers are not in the capacity to keep dry hot spices.
08:54 While, small packets of spices are sold for 50 to 60 rupees per kilo.
08:57 In the past, it was sold for 10 rupees per kilo.
09:00 Then it was sold for 20 rupees per kilo.
09:02 Now, it has reached a small packet of 60 to 80 rupees per kilo.
09:05 If we talk about cloves, it will be 8 to 10 cloves and 8 to 10 black peppers.
09:10 So, dry hot spices have become very expensive.
09:13 If we talk about ginger, there are two types of ginger that are sold in the market.
09:17 It is sold for 850 rupees per kilo and 600 rupees per kilo.
09:21 You told me.
09:22 The price of chicken is also decreasing in Multan.
09:25 It is sold for 390 to 400 rupees per kilo.
09:28 It is 120 rupees per kilo.
09:29 While, mutton is sold for 800 rupees per kilo.
09:32 Mutton is sold for 1600 to 1800 rupees per kilo.
09:38 Mutton and mutton are sold for 800 rupees per kilo.
09:41 Okay.
09:42 Mirza Ahmed Ali is telling us.
09:44 Let's go to Atiya Akram.
09:45 Let's know the situation from Quetta.
09:47 Because it is dry season now.
09:50 Yes.
09:51 So, dry fruits are used a lot.
09:53 But, their price is very high.
09:55 You think whether to eat dry fruits or not.
09:58 Atiya, tell us.
10:00 Dry fruits are in season.
10:01 Winter must have come.
10:03 What is the price of vegetables, fruits, and meat?
10:07 What are the updates from Quetta?
10:09 Yes, Sadaf.
10:15 If we talk about Quetta and Balochistan,
10:18 It has always been the most expensive province of Pakistan.
10:21 The reason is that dry fruits are in large quantities here.
10:25 If we talk about dry fruits,
10:28 It is difficult to touch them.
10:33 Because, it is expensive in thousands.
10:36 If we talk about almonds,
10:37 Almonds are good for the mind.
10:39 But, people are worried about the price.
10:41 Almonds cannot be eaten to improve their mental balance.
10:45 It can only be seen.
10:47 Almond is priced at 3,000 to 3,500 rupees per kilo.
10:52 If we talk about paper almonds,
10:56 The price is very high.
10:58 And, the price of walnuts is also very high.
11:00 But, the price of walnuts is so high,
11:03 That it is difficult to see.
11:06 If we talk about common things,
11:08 Because, dry fruits are in luxury.
11:12 If we talk about common things,
11:14 After the price of petrol has decreased,
11:16 The middle class has also started to touch the line of poverty.
11:20 They say that dry fruits are out of their reach.
11:25 They need to get two meals a day.
11:27 They need to eat vegetables.
11:29 If we talk about vegetables,
11:30 Ginger and garlic are our daily necessities.
11:33 Here, ginger is sold for 500 rupees per kilo.
11:38 If we talk about garlic,
11:39 Garlic is of poor quality.
11:44 And, the nuts are separated.
11:48 Ginger and garlic are sold for 200 rupees per kilo.
11:52 And, the price of garlic is also 400 rupees per kilo.
11:56 Pomegranate is a very common thing.
11:59 People used to not eat it.
12:02 Pomegranate is sold for 150 rupees per kilo.
12:05 The price of lemon is also very high.
12:08 It is sold for 100 rupees per kilo.
12:10 If we talk about the price of spinach,
12:14 It is sold for 30 to 40 rupees per kilo.
12:19 We got most of the rates.
12:23 Thank you.
12:24 You are also with us.
12:25 Usman, tell us,
12:27 Is there a difference in rates in Peshawar?
12:30 Are some things better?
12:31 Or, are the same problems there?
12:34 Yes, as the other countries are doing,
12:39 The petrol prices have also decreased.
12:44 The government has reduced the price by 40 rupees.
12:48 But, if we talk about the rates,
12:51 The rates of vegetables and fruits are the same.
12:57 If the price of vegetables and fruits has not increased by 5 to 10 rupees,
13:00 Then, the rate has not decreased.
13:01 And, the reason for this is that there is no balance.
13:04 Because, in the market where we are present,
13:06 The vegetables are very beautiful.
13:11 And, it is morning time.
13:12 So, it is fresh.
13:14 But, the rates are the same.
13:17 The rate of a week ago,
13:18 If the price of vegetables and fruits has not increased by 5 to 10 rupees,
13:21 Then, the rate has not decreased.
13:23 And, the potato, which is called all-rounder,
13:26 Which is used in everything,
13:28 The price of potatoes in the vegetable market is 90 to 100 rupees per kilo.
13:34 Whereas, if you go out of the vegetable market,
13:37 In other areas of the city,
13:38 Then, you will get it for 110 to 120 rupees.
13:41 Wherever you go in Peshawar,
13:43 You will get different rates.
13:45 If it is of fruits, vegetables, or other things,
13:49 And, the reason for this is that there is no balance.
13:52 If the price of fruits has decreased,
13:55 Then, the rate should have decreased.
13:58 The government has reduced the rates.
14:02 The rates of Ash-e-Khurdanoosh, rice, and lentils,
14:07 The rate has decreased by 30 to 50 rupees per kilo.
14:11 But, when the common people buy it,
14:14 Then, the same rate is not seen.
14:18 Thank you so much, Usman.
14:21 We have with us from Peshawar, Atia, Quetta, and Mirza Ahmed Ali Multan.
14:26 Faizullah Khan was updating us from Karachi.
14:29 Thank you so much, everyone.
