Price rises have become a routine with the government. Not a day passes when one does not hear about shooting prices. In a developing country like India, prices rising is good to some extent but we must keep in view the miserable lot of those who hardly get a square meal. The worst sufferers are the poor wage earners who are always facing a great mess. The immediate hike in gas, pulses, vegetables, and petrol, etc has put all of us in doldrums. This has disturbed the family budget of every domestic lady. The life saving medicines have become beyond the reach of a poor shopkeeper. It is for the government to initiate steps to lower down the prices. More ration shops, and bazaars on wheels have to be set up to supply articles at the more competitive prices. The activities of the hoarders and stockists need to be watched carefully.
