Complete road closures for three consecutive days and partial openings on Sunday severely disrupted daily life in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, with business activities coming to a halt and essential food prices reaching record highs. The price of vegetables and fruits skyrocketed, breaking all previous records. The long-standing tradition of vegetable sellers offering free coriander and green chilies with purchases has ended after a hundred years. In the open market, tomatoes are being sold at Rs600 per kg, peas at Rs400 per kg, and coriander - once complimentary - now costs Rs80 to Rs100 per bunch.
