Rising prices cause of serious concern

Kashmir Times. Dated: 1/20/2017 10:47:53 PM

Dear Editor,
The prices of item of daily need are soaring sky high day by day. Vegetables, pulses, edible oils, spices etc are becoming dearer going away almost beyond the purchasing capacity of a common man because of the anti people and anti working class policies being pursued by the successive governments of all colours and shades especially from the time adoption of “Globalisation” & “Economic Reforms” at the behest of World Trade Organisation (WTO) setup by super powers of the world to exploit cheap labour and raw material of under-developed and developing countries of the world. The prices of petroleum products like petrol & diesel etc are being raised after short intervals. The State government has unilaterally raised the prices of subsidised ration goods like wheat, wheat flour, rice and K.oil etc thus multiplying the hardships of fixed income groups common masses and toiling down-trodden sections of society.
Though the people have lodged strong protests against this sudden price rise by the state government but the State government appeared to be least bothered about the hardships of the rationees who are already facing acute hardships because of steeply rising the prices of all essentialities of life.
