<i>Ramadan price hike</i>

Aiman Bin Shaofiqul Hamid, Dept. of English, International Islamic University Chittagong

No doubt, Ramadan is the month of abstinence and self-purification. But we often fail to uphold its solemnity. I agree with the people who apprehend that the prices of commodities will be increasing during this month. If I go by my previous experiences, I am not that much optimistic that the present caretaker govt. would able to control the prices during the time of Ramadan. The government should handle the issue on a priority basis.
