" PRICE HIKE IN BANGLADESH "

Price hike or rising price of daily necessaries is a burning question of the present time. This problem is becoming worse day by day. As a result, the poor and the lower-middle class people of our country are being very affected. Prices have risen abnormally in the fields of food, cloth, fuel, oil, medicine and other essential items. In fact, this problem should not be regarded as an isolated fact. Rather, several reasons are responsible for this. Such as hoarding, market syndicate, political instability, mismanagement, black-marketing, population-explosion, international economy etc. The dishonest businessmen hoard necessary products in their godown with an ill motive to become rich overnight. As a result, normal supply of commodities breaks down. They have formed an evil syndicate and have spread their network all over the country. Thus, they have been aggravating the condition of price-hike. Political clashes, hurtle, strike and so on hamper the production and transportation of commodities and finally causes price-hike.  Mismanagement specially at the government level is mostly responsible for price hike. Taking political shelter, many importers, distributors and retailers sell their items much higher than the original price. Some people have adopted black-marketing as their profitable business. Some smuggle various commodities across the border. Thus, they make the market in stable and rise prices. 'Population-explosion' is a great problem in our country. With the growth of population the demand of daily commodities also increase. This deficit in the production and supply of commodities causes price-hike. Sometimes the international economy influences on the price hike. Price hike has created a very-miserable situation in our country. The poor and lower-middle class people suffer seriously for price hike. They cannot afford to manage daily meals. They suffer from malnutrition and other diseases. Even  many die lack of proper treatment. In this situation no nation can be civilized and happy. The government should take proper steps to control price hike to remove the sufferings of the common people. Strict laws regarding food price should be implemented and proper monitoring should be maintained. Above all, we should raise our voice against the unreasonable price hike of the daily commodities.
