The Rise In
Prices
The
rise in price of all the necessary goods is a matter of concern (worry) not
only for the poor, but also for the people of the middle class in developing
countries. Usually the people blame the government for not curbing
(restricting/controlling) the sudden spurt (rise) in prices of the commodities
(things) of daily use. Some of the reasons for the rise in prices are not under
the direct control of the Govt. But the political parties often raise issues
like this to push the Govt. at its back-foot. The ruling party cannot escape
bearing the brunt (impact) of such flaring (erupting) situations. The Govt.
will have to maintain the balance between the demand and supply, at least, of
the commodities of daily use. If the shortage of a certain commodity is due to
some man-made causes, then the Govt. must stop black-marketing and hoarding of
that thing. The culprits (the wrong-doers) must be punished severely. If the
shortage is due to some natural calamity (disaster), the government must import
that thing from a foreign country. In case, the prices of the perishable goods
have gone up because of the rise in petro-prices, then the government should
decrease tax that is levied on the sale of petrol and diesel. So the state as
well as the central governments must cooperate with each other to keep the
prices of the necessary goods under control.
