Need to monitor Ramadan price hike

With the arrival of Ramadan, the kitchen items have become costlier. Cucumber is selling for taka 100 per kilogram, while Brinjal is also equally expensive. The prices of other essentials have also increased for no apparent reason whatsoever. This happens every year. People of fixed income groups are hard hit by soaring essentials' prices. The ministries concerned should strictly control price hike of the daily necessities. And there is no alternative to regular market monitoring.
