Subject: Price hike of essential commodities and the sufferings of the people.
Dear Sir,
I will be happy if you publish the following letter related to the public interest in your renowned daily.
Price hike of essential commodities and the suffering of the people
The sharp rise in the price of essential commodities has become intolerable. The people who belong to the middle class and live under the poverty line are the worst sufferers because of the present price hike. Among all other essential commodities, food prices are increasing by leaps and bounds. We all know without food people cannot live. Because of the excessive price of food people have become compelled to lessen their eating of food. It will result in malnutrition and different types of diseases in the long run.
In recent times, common food items have also gone beyond the purchasing power of common people. For example, potatoes, onions, raw bananas, papayas, eggs, and various green vegetables can be named. Just a few months ago these things were not as expensive as now. The abnormal rise in the prices of essential food items has created uncertainty and discomfort in the daily lives of low and middle-income families.
People are struggling to reconcile their income and expenses. The income of the common people has not increased in contrast to the high prices of very necessary food items. So, common people find it very difficult to keep up with the increasing inflation. They now feel like fish out of water whenever they go to buy everyday essential things, especially food items.
In divisional and district towns including Dhaka city, a huge number of people eat food from restaurants. Restaurant owners have increased the prices of their food items because they buy goods from the market at higher prices than before. As a result, people have to cut short their menu and eat less than previous time. General people are really having a difficult time managing their budget. They are spending more money by eating less.
In this situation, the government can give subsidies to control the price hike. The government also should take stern action against the syndicate who are responsible for the planned price hike. Because this vicious cycle called market syndicate drives the prices of commodities to unreasonable heights with a well-planned and nefarious motive.
Sincerely yours
Rakin
