Hike in price of ration

Kashmir Times. Dated: 12/5/2016 10:11:58 PM

Dear Editor
This refers to the news items published in Kashmir Times regarding hike in ration prices which has affected the common masses. The PDP-BJP has promised to redress the problems of the public but has failed to maintain the price hike of ration. Without any intimation regarding the price hike has surprised the common man. The government shall contain the price hike as the common masses are badly affected and shall supply the standarded ration in time so the public may not suffer anymore.
Consumers also resent over hike in the rates of rice and flour, saying this will hugely hit the poor across the state. Even as the people were grappling with ill-effects of demonetisation, the rise in prices of essentials has come yet another blow in the wake of cash starvation. The callous attitude of coalition government towards people has already rendered utility services dysfunctional and brought development to standstill. The government for taking sadistic pleasure in causing inconvenience to the people which reflect disconnect of the present dispensation with the people at grass root level.
