Now that the government has almost finalised its preparations for the budget, the public is distraught to see that there is not going to be any single step that may ease the burden of price hike and inflation on the poor.
They have not only to adjust themselves with the increasing prices of various items, but also to make do with the long absenteeism of electricity and gas. The new budget is not just an announcement for the government’s policies it is going to be an explosion of problems for the poor of the country at a much wider scale.
