The prices of essential commodities, such as rice, dal, wheat, oil, vegetables, etc. have gone further up during the last few days in our country. It is called an agricultural country but nowadays, rice sells at Tk 30 or 35 per kg. It has already gone beyond the buying capacity of the common people. Fish which is now scarcely available in the market is selling very dear. Besides, the prices of vegetables have gone up very high. We the students of a university/university college cannot buy all the necessary things, because we are students and do not have enough money. The rising prices of foods and essential commodities are causing great hardship to the people of all classes. Something must be done to check this unjustifiable tendency of price hike of essential commodities in the market. We want to be the people of a country which is free from corruption. The government should take immediate effective measures to keep down the prices of essentials as much as possible.
