Expensive bread
The price of bread has increased rapidly during the last few months. The price of a medium sized bread was Tk. 15 each. This has now increased to Tk 45 to Tk 50. This means an increase of 300%! This is too much.
We know that prices have gone up but the prices of wheat flour and other ingredients have not increased much. Hence an increase of say 20% could be reasonable.
Therefore the government should look into this matter and refix the maximum retail price of bread for the benefit of the common people. The rush to make quick money at the expense of public should be stopped.
