Follies abound in Rawalpindi city and none can tell where the next round of absurdity will hit the ground. During Ramazan, the centre stage has been stolen by the escalating prices of daily essentials like milk, bread, ghee, oil, soap, eggs, fruits, and vegetables, etc.
“The unfolding stories of skyrocketed prices of items of daily use tempt me to feed on grains only. Fruit and vegetable prices have gone up over the last 10 days in a bizarre twist of turns,” says Aneeqa Zaidi.
Ramazan this year has come as the third wave of Covid-19 is becoming terrible. With no effect on unscrupulous traders this time, too they have spiked the prices of many essential commodities. They are busy cashing in on lax market monitoring and poor management,” says Hira Fatima.
