Veg Price Out of Reach, Fish and Meat Also

From fish-meat to vegetables, the price is not affordable. Common people are struggling to cope with the pressure of this increased price of daily commodities. Not only the lower class but also the middle class is struggling to make both ends meet.

Common people are not able to cope even by cutting expenses in various ways. Because, even though the cost of living has increased, the income has not increased.

Although the government has taken various measures to control the situation, the market is still unstable. Although the prices of some products, including eggs, have decreased slightly in the last two to three days, the overall effect has not been felt in the market.

The vendors said that the supply of vegetables is still less than the demand in the market. The country has suffered a lot of crop damage due to floods in the past few months. Because of this, the price of vegetables is not decreasing soon.

This information was gathered by visiting different raw markets of the capital and talking to the sellers on Friday (October 18).
