‘illogical’ price hike

Ramadhan is celebrated with great enthusiasm all over the world. It is a time when Muslims can seek forgiveness and develop good habits. It takes us away from social evils. In this blessed month, many people cannot afford to buy groceries. There are many homes where food is not available during the sehri and iftiaari time. Food items such as fruits, vegetables, meat, and chicken are being sold at high prices. It is unfortunate that shopkeepers are deceiving the general public in this holy month. Due to the hike in prices, the common man is suffering badly. The shopkeepers who are supposed to give relief to the consumers are showing no concern. Despite giving discounts on food items, the shopkeepers, fruit, and vegetable sellers are trying to take advantage of innocent people. The poor man is struggling to feed their family in the month of Ramadhan. Though the administration has given some relief by lowering the price of meat to rs 535. The sellers must be kind, especially to the poor consumers, and sell their food items in genuine prices. Moreover, people must come together and feed poor families. We are happy to see youngsters distributing food items in hospitals and in other places. The elite classes must contribute money to the poor families and make sure no one sleeps without having sehri and iftiaari. Other than this many people are complaining about water and electricity issues in their areas. They have to eat sehri and Iftaari under the candlelight. As it is a merciful month, we hope concerned authorities will provide relief to people in this holy month. Food, water, and electricity must be available so that people don’t face inconvenience.
