Sales of iftar items in the Rawalpindi city have come down this year because of abnormal rise in the prices of almost all the iftar items. The prices of iftar items shot up by 20 to 30 percent this year, reducing the consumption while food sellers say the rise in the prices of ingredients had forced them to hike the prices of the iftar items.
