Price hike hits common man adversely

25 Aug, 2011

People belonging to different walks of life have strongly criticised the poor performance of the government as a result of which the economic condition of the country is deteriorating with every passing day. According to a survey conducted by Business Recorder in rural and urban areas people were of the opinion that government was deliberately ignoring the basic problems of general public and salaried class of the country due unknown reason.
Continuous bombardment in the shape of taxes and increase in electricity tariff was an attempt to create fuss and chaos among the masses just to camouflage its negligence and ineffective polices. The government has snatched the bread and butter of the masses resultantly the life had become miserable, they said. They further stated that government was exploding price hike bomb on every weekend just to divert the attention of the people and hoodwinking and betraying the poor masses, they said.
Due to poor economic polices the prices of articles of daily use are increased to many folds as compared to the salaries of the people resultantly the ratio of committing suicides on the increase but federal and provincial governments totally flapped in controlling the price hike, they alleged. They further told that it seems that district administration of Sialkot had bowed its knee in front of profiteers and hoarders. As few days are left in Eid there would be further price hike because shopkeepers are fleecing the consumers with both hands but nobody is there to check this malpractice.
Nothing had been done by the government for the welfare of masses as a result of which their miseries were multiplying every day because explosion of price hike bomb was the key instrument of the government, they alleged
It is very unfortunate that rice are being sold at Rs 110 per kg in rice growing country while mutton Rs 450 to Rs 500 per kg, beef Rs 250 to Rs 300, Patoto Rs 42 per KG, egg Rs 85 per dozen and other articles of daily use were being sold at much high cost which are beyond the purchasing power of the common man but no body is daring to check the price hike and it seems that there no sign of existence of administration in Sialkot.
