Since last 2-3 years,people of
our country have had been coping up with the aggravating price hikes in the food
items and various other problems and things.Value added GST taxes and flood
taxes which have been recently imposed by the government have added more to the
problem of an ordinary man.Especially ,5-6 rupees increase in petrol per liter
results in the increment of the prices on all the food items,which are the very
basic necessity of life.Our government has had been collecting and imposing
taxes and funds,but little looks to be done for the facility of the masses.
What looks even more distressing is the arrogant attitude of our leaders,who do
little effort to do something in return for those who have been paying in what
they are ordered to pay!The present situations give us alarm of the expected
catastrophes and situations which might develop in the upcoming years and the
way important issues are being neglected and unimportant issues are given such
honor gives indication that the the present problems of the country will persist
in few more decades and may even take shape of disasters!
The government should look into the matter and take some steps to reduce the
burden of the helpless citizens.
