In addition to the rise in prices of edibles with the start of Ramadan, barbers of the twin cities have also increased charges for their services.
The barbers are charging more than the due amount for haircuts and trimming beard in spite of the fact that there has been no prominent increase in the prices of blades, scissors or other tools being used by them.
No doubt, the barbers are participating in the rat race for gathering maximum profits prior to the Eid festival. Such state of affairs has aroused concerns among the public while the price control committees have become silent spectators.
