Price hike
When the country is badly shaken by the unprecedented floods there is yet another alarming factor-- the price hike of essentials that is slowly but very steadily engulfing the usual life of the common people. It is appalling that one kg of green chili costs you Tk 200! There are no vegetables that cost you less than Tk 30 per kg! At this point, the government, as many social experts suggest, should pay heed to the eminent economists' suggestions; it can hold an open discourse with them as to how to keep things under control.
The government can also welcome the business community in the discourse.
