Price hike of electricity and gas

The government has decided to increase the price of gas and electricity. No doubt, it will make day-to-day life more difficult for the middle and lower income people. They are already under severe pressure to cope with the burgeoning prices of essential food items. Many vegetables are now sold for Tk 80-100 per kilogram. It seems fish and meat is out of their reach already. Now that the prices of gas and electricity have been increased, it will put pressure on the majority of the people.

We hope the government will reconsider its decision to hike prices of gas and electricity for the sake of the countrymen.
