The rise in the cost of items such as flour, oil, and bread is making the average person carefully consider their purchases.
The rise in flour prices is attributed to a wheat shortage, and this year the government is not releasing wheat through the open market scheme, leading to reduced supply and high demand.
Over the past two months, the cost of refined oil has risen by Rs 15 per liter, forcing people to reduce their food intake.
The cost of bread has risen by 5 rupees, and since no household member consumes bread daily, people are experiencing significant difficulties due to this price hike.
The cost of arhar dal has risen to Rs 200 per kg. Nonetheless, there was some relief as the price of gram dal and basmati rice dropped by Rs 10 per kg.
Peas are priced at Rs 100-120 per kg and spinach at Rs 70 per kg. With such costly vegetables in the winter, what will the average person eat?
The cost of a 1 kg tea packet has risen by as much as Rs 50, making people reconsider their morning tea habits.
In addition, the prices of flour and other items are expected to rise even more. Merchants are urging the government to boost the wheat supply to help control inflation.
