At a time when costs are already very high, hotels and restaurants are struggling to survive. Expenses such as rent, groceries, health insurance, gas, and utilities are rising sharply.
Many small eateries are finding it difficult to continue operations, while others have had to reduce their menus. These increases are putting pressure on household budgets and raising the overall cost of living for consumers.
There is also an acute shortage of auto LPG, along with rising prices, which is affecting autorickshaw drivers due to the impact of the West Asia conflict
Although active fighting has now stopped, the economic damage continues to be felt. The global economy has been shaken, and ordinary people everywhere are paying the price. There appears to be no clear plan or long-term solution, leaving many uncertain about the future.
