Price Hike
Hike means the increase
in the prices of daily necessaries. Price hike is a serious bane on the economy
of Bangladesh. The vast majority of the consumers are hard hit by the recent
hike in prices of the daily necessaries. Dishonest hoarders are responsible for
price hike generally. In addition, price hike is caused by short supply of
commodities and inflation price hike that results from short supply of
commodities is temporary. The prices come down if their supply is enhanced.
But
the price hike caused by inflation cannot be controlled by easy efforts..
Whatever may be the cause, price hike causes a lot of hardship and sufferings
to people. The fixed income groups of people are severely affected by it,
because they have to maintain their families’ within their low and fixed
income. It is very difficult for them to bear the excessive load. Usually, they
have to buy less or inferior quality items. They find it difficult to make
their both ends meet. They have to go without many things that are necessary to
lead a normal life. The poorer sections of the people are the worst sufferers.
Price hike leads to the widespread corruption and moral degradation. If price
hike continues at this prevailing degree, the poor people of our country may
face starvation in a large scale. It would be a great sorrow. Government should
identify the causes of price hike and take necessary steps against it. At the
same time, people of all walks of life must come forward to do something so
that prices of our essential things can be kept under control.
