The local paper mills owners in Lahore have taken the form of a mafia, for they have increased the price of paper by further Rs15 per kg, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
With the increase, the price of paper has reached Rs260 per kg.
The publishers of Urdu Bazaar have called an emergency meeting to take stock of the situation.
“The paper mills owners have put more burden on poor students. The mafia has to be stopped, or the child of the poor man will be deprived of education otherwise,” they said.
