Price hike (মূল্যবৃদ্ধি)

Dhaka, 15 April 2013

The recent price-hike of essential commodities has become a headache to most of the people and it is now impossible for people to make both ends meet. It hits severely the low and middle class people. The day-labourers and the fixed salaried people are the worst sufferers. Not to speak of meat or fish, even the prices of vegetables are increasing day by day. The prices of rice, clothes, kerosine, medicine and other essential commodities are also going up by leaps and bounds.

During the month of Ramadan, prices of all essential commodities go beyond the reasonable limit. This year is not an exception. Prices of everything are on a roller-coaster ride. A recent survey at Kawran Bazar is given below:

We are passing our days in great hardship. Government is not sincere in controlling the prices', says one of the customers. There is no possibility of decreasing in present prices very soon. Our common people want to have a square meal everyday. So, govt. should take the market price into consideration. Government should immediately take pragmatic measures to curb the price-hike so that common people of our country can survive with their family and have a happy everyday life.
