Arrest Ramadan price hike
With the advent of Ramadan, prices of some essentials have increased considerably. For example, green chili, which sold at Tk.60 a few days ago, now sells at Tk.160 per kg. Prices of some other kitchen items have also increased.
Every year as Ramadan arrives, common people face the heat of sudden rise in the prices of essentials. This has become a rather regular trend. Although the government urges the businessmen to practice restraint, the opposite happens. Consequently, the consumers have to suffer throughout the whole month.
We hope that this year the authorities will do something to keep the prices of essentials within the reach of common people.
