Price hike

The prices of essentials are going up every day. And the level of prices of the essential commodities is so high that it has already crossed the limits of tolerance. As a result, most of the people of Bangladesh, who are really poor, landless, helpless and even the service holders, both govt. and non-govt., whose salary is not increasing in keeping with the prices of commodities, are now passing their days amid hardship. But the govt. has no time to address the acute problem, as it is busy removing corruption to present a free, fair and impartial parliamentary election to the nation. But what will be the condition of the people ? How will they survive? There are so many areas in this country where people cannot manage two square meals a day.
The govt. should give due importance to boosting production in the agriculture sector to bring down the prices of essentials.
