The holy month of Ramadan also contributed a lot to it. Because people, during this month, try to buy and consume some of these items more than in other months.This also worsened the problem.
Some dishonest businessman made the best use of the situation.the common people, who always bear the burnt of price hike, reacted patiently. They knew that they were helpless. I felt for the poor people but i have nothing to do.The Government formed monitoring cells to control the price hike. The law enforcing agencies were developed to fight corruption. Import of essentials was encouraged by the government through tax-cuts. But nothing seemed to prove fruitful.The rich and the business class should come forward to ensure proper distribution of the commodities.
