Sir: The majority of people wait for the holy month of Ramadan but it comes along with the high prices of daily food items. It has been reported that during the month of Ramadan prices of edible things rise up. Inflation has always been a major problem for the people of Pakistan unfortunately this problem seems to aggravate further in the holy month of Ramadan. It is a painful truth that all the items like flour, oil, onions, rice, tomatoes, etc. which are demanded in the holy month of Ramadan are rising in price. Inflation is really a curse for the people. Ramadan brings unlimited happiness and blessings with it but unfortunately most of the people are dejected in the holy month of Ramadan. People are unable to afford the food items needed to break their fast. The poor people keep fast and after breaking their fast they remain without food. Something serious must be done to control inflation, at least in Ramadan so that people can be able to eat something after breaking their fast.
