Unvearable Price Of Essentials
In this Eid amid corona pandemic, prices of essential commodities like onion, rice, pulses, oil etc. are increased by creating an artificial crisis in the market. Previously stocked products are also sold at higher prices. Low quality products have been also sold at high prices saying shortage of products in the market due to the lockdown. Consequently, middle class and lower class people suffer the most.
However, making such unethical extra profit is not new in Bangladesh. But it is possible to control the price of goods in the local market if the market syndication can be eliminated. The government should take stern action against the traders involved in illegal activities.
