Price Rise Of Essential Commodities

Sir Through the columns of your esteemed daily newspaper,I want to express my deep concern regarding the rising prices of essential commodities.Inflation is one of the major problems of the common man with the prices of commodities of the daily use soaringh high.This inflation had made the common man very difficult. And the worst thing is when the food items get dearer ,one is compelled to stretch oneself beyond one's capacity to the necessities to one's family.In such circumstances the poor continue in their state of poverty but the repercussions on the middle class are high in the form of their meagre saving or even incurring debts.The worst hit are the fixed income group's like salaried people,labour class and the pensioners.For them even the commodities of basic necessities like wheat,pulses,grains,vegetables etc are getting out of reach.Every increase in price disturbs their budgets.Inflation of food prices directly impacts the quality of nutrition available and hence the health of the human resource of the nation with a major chunk of the family income,being used up to run the kitchen. There is a severe cut down on the fund available for other important functions like the education of the children. I in this connection ,made a comparative study on various items in the 2014 and 2021 showing their prices where one can understand price rise at an alarming rate.The prices of items like Petrol,Diesel,LPG,Dal,Atta, Ghee,Oil,Milk,Sugar and Egg are Rs 60,55,414,70,17 350,52,30,22 and 2 in 2014 and in the corresponding year 2021 reached to 112,100,10 00,190,30,650,210,56,50 and 10 respectively.This data clearly show increase in prices on common essential commodities and hence reflect the tall claims of the Govt .In order to curb the problem of price rise it should be duty of the government to control it .I think there should be more fair price shops where common man shop for quality goods at a nominal price.The government and banks must keep a check on hoarding and black marketing and also stop repayment of public debt until price rise is controlled within the economy.The policy decision maker should always keep the layman in mind while making and executing policies.Last but not least in my conclusion,it is evident that price rise is a multi headed monster which must be defeated on time with proper measures to benefit not just the rich population but the poor also . Yours etc......... Mool Raj R/O Village Bhagota Distt & Teh Doda
