According to a report in a UK newspaper, the cost of dairy products alongside fruit, vegetables and bread is down due to cheaper fuel prices and decrease in global prices.

A very famous brand is charging Rs140 per litre for skimmed milk whereas the price of the same milk in the UK is equivalent to about Rs55. Someone in the self-serving government of Nawaz Sharif needs to wake up and look after consumers for a change.
