Rising cost of living

Letter May 23, 2018
Price hikes never happen anywhere in the world like they do in Pakistan

KARACHI: There is no doubt that the prices in our country increase manifold all at once. It never happens anywhere in the world. The rising cost of living is creating many problems in society, people have been groaning under the impact of high prices of all commodities. Even the price of wheat keeps increasing many times in a year.

The irony is that the so-called economists are busy announcing that the country is making great progress and its economy is booming. The government should have pity on the common people.
