Essentials price hike

Old stories have lost their appeals as reports of price-hike of foods and other items hardly touch the heart of those who matter.
Even during the coronavirus pandemic, a global disaster, questionable practices are there, be it manipulation, stocking, or market management inefficiency that cause price fluctuation.
It's been really a painful experience for the consumers, most of them have lost their income.
The issue is a serious one in the present context since we experience artificial price-hike during the Ramadan and festivals. We need to make soul-searching about why we behave so and how this can be addressed.
