Price spiral
Prices are going up and up exceeding the limit of tolerance and patience with no relief in sight. It has proved wrong the age-old maxim - "All things that go up must come down." It seems that price escalation has reached levels beyond the mortal's control, and only Allah knows when it will come down! Market mechanism misunderstood and unknowingly mismanaged by drives and dictate has set the chain reaction and price overheat which is now beyond the control of the administration.
We cannot question why. The authorities have been trapped and have no way out, and they have more or less accepted the bitter pill, leaving the matter to be sorted out in course of time.
