Spiraling prices of essential goods

Prices of essential commodities have already gone up ahead of Ramadan belying repeated government assurances. We are afraid of further price hike during Ramadan. According to the government sources there is no shortage of supply of commodities in the market. There are some unscrupulous businessmen who manipulate the market to make extra profit. We urge the government to take stern action against these rogue elements and rein in soaring prices.
