Who is to blame for this ?

It is not unusual for the common people to bear the brunt of the sky rocketed market prices of daily consumable goods even during the normal situation due to lack of proper supervision and monitoring mechanism of the government. Now, due to continuous lockdown for the last three months, the situation has been favourable for both the whole sellers and retailers to inflate the prices of all the cereal foods, edible oils and vegetables in the local market.  

But, surprisingly this time, the whole sellers claim that the prices of the daily consumable goods have gone down by 10 to 15% owing to easing lockdown. However, the retailers continue to rob the people by inflating the prices citing increase in wholesale prices and costly transportation. 

 

In fact, it is the responsibility of the local level government to inspect the market but not even a single market inspection has been conducted till date,and unscrupulous traders are taking full advantage of the lack of oversight. Owing to this, the common people have been hit hard by both the corona virus threat and unbearable market prices.
