Price hike
I am living in Australia for the last couple of years. I have seen that all businessmen sell their products at a discount rate on the eve of different occasion like X-mas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and so on. But in Bangladesh the situation is different. Businessmen wait for the occasion to earn extra money by increasing the prices of commodities. I think that they are getting ready for the upcoming Ramadan, Eid and Puja. They know that people have no alternative to buying goods from them. People of Bangladesh can sacrifice money but they cannot sacrifice their festival. Businessmen know this weakness of the people and increase the prices of commodities. As a result, people are compelled to pay the extra money which is really unfair.
