Rising cost of essential Things..! Impact on wage earners!?
Due to the ongoing
war between
ukraine and
russia and the rise in
petrol and
diesel prices, the prices of essential commodities are rising exponentially day by day. Monthly wage earners, suffer economically. Over the past few days, the prices of groceries and
oil in
coimbatore have been skyrocketing. Although various reasons have been put forward for this, traders are mainly citing the
war in
ukraine and the rise in
petrol and
diesel prices.
Those who move life on a monthly salary, suffer economically. On whether the price hike will be permanent or will come down after some time, Ganesan, the bargaining
district secretary of the
tamil Nadu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that grocery prices will rise once a year and will decrease another time.
During the months of
march and April, when the supply of groceries is high, prices fall. Six months later, prices will rise as stocks decline during the rainy season and demand for groceries and oils during festivals, weddings, and ceremonies.This, of course, is inevitable. During periods of unpredictable heavy rains, floods, and tsunamis, prices are likely to rise if there is a shortage of supplies from one place to another.
Sunflower
oil has gone up from Rs 130 to Rs 190. Similarly, most groceries are expensive. No longer, there will be price fluctuations, depending on the circumstances that follow.
