GOVERNMENT FAILED TO CONTROL PRICE HIKE IN THE PROVINCE

People give vote to their favorite leaders during elections with the hope that this time the new government will provide some relief to the poor citizens of Pakistan. But again poor people are wrong. The new government of NWFP (Pukhtunkhwa) promised the nation after being elected that they would do their best to provide relief but they are failed to deliver their promises.
It is the second Ramadan-ul-Mubarak that started in this government. One would say that God has given them a second chance to make correct policies and do not disappoint the poor nation. Though the government has chalked out various pre-Ramadan plans in order to control the prices but the output is zero. Government issued orders to the wholesale dealers that they should display the rate lists and sell the items according to the displayed rate list. Government took the steps through magistrates and commissioners to ensure crackdown against the hoarders and profiteers. Government also issued orders to open Ramadan bazaars, Itwar bazaars and utility stores in which commodities would be available on low prices for the consumers. Utility stores would be provided sufficient stock of necessary commodities.
On the other hand the situation is totally opposite as the market price and the government set price is completely different. The wholesale dealers and retailers are selling the commodities on their own prices and not on the prices set by the government. Shopkeepers are not displaying the rate lists. The retailers are fleecing the common man in the holy month of Ramadan and there is no one to inquire about the worst situation. The orders of the government regarding the control of prices are ineffective.
Being Muslims and living in an Islamic country, we should perform our duties well during the holy month of Ramadan. But no, there are some people who, for their interest, play with the innocent poor citizens just for some amount of profit. It has now become a trend that prices get high of the daily routine commodities during Ramadan. People of Pakistan are now used to it.
May Good God give a little courage to the responsible officials to correct the system and provide some sort of relief to the people!
