Karachi (HRNW)- With the onset of Ramadan, a sudden increase in fruit prices has been seen across the city.<\/p>\n

The public said that during Ramadan, fruit sellers increase prices to increase their profits, which has increased the burden of inflation on ordinary citizens.<\/p>\n

Experts say that heat and shortage of imported fruits are also a reason for the increase in prices, however, citizens have demanded that the relevant authorities control prices so that they remain within everyone\u2019s reach during Ramadan.<\/p>\n
