There is no relief in the vegetable market

The prices of vegetables have increased in the markets of the capital during the week. The price of almost every vegetable has increased by 10-20 rupees. The price of fish and meat is increased as before. However, the sellers are blaming the supply shortage for this.

On Friday (June 7), such images were seen by visiting various markets including Jatrabari, Caravan Bazaar in the capital.

Traders said that the supply of products in the market is low due to the heat. But the demand is high. So the price is a bit high. Apart from this, there is no guarantee whether the prices of goods will decrease in Eid-ul-Azha.

A buyer named Ashraful Alam said, I don't think I can do half the market with the money I brought to the market. No one thinks about us common people. New budget will come every year, but when will we get a little relief?

Another buyer named Didarul Islam said that the budget does not have the words of ordinary people. Everything is expensive in the market. It does not change.
