Price Rise and Common People of Assam


With liberalization of economy in India, the price rise of common commodities in Assam is affecting all section of people .The main concern is rise in petrol & diesel price which is subsequently affecting rise in prices of Common Vegetables like Potato & Onion.Very poor person now a days can only dream for various pulses & mustered oil which cost Rs.100/- per Kg. Their daily earning is around Rs.150/- and are mostly affected as Potato's & Onion are their main diet now costing Rs.80/- per Kg. A price never ever dreamt for.
Basic reason for such state of affairs may be: (a) Hoarding & black marketing. (b) Bribery to Government agents in interstate/interdistrict toll gates to escape tax's. (c) Goon Tax / Protection tax to unsocial elements / Insurgents. (d) Unauthorised donation to political party by business community. Above cited reason are intermittently connected with politics & earning black money. In general, public opinion is that present government is indirectly connected, as the concerned ministries of State are sitting idle to check this fiasco inspite of various protest by its citizen in many forums.
