The country has been plagued by the Corona epidemic for some time now. The ban on the corona virus has weakened the country’s economy. So far, the epidemic has not been brought under control. As a result, ordinary citizens are forced to live in anxiety. Prohibition and the problems that result from it have robbed many of their livelihood today.
Even joining hands and mouths in the morning and evening is making it difficult for many. People’s lives and the current situation is becoming very complicated. The parties are focusing on their own interests rather than solving the problems of the people. Today, the politics of the country is not moving forward in the right way. Many problems are arising in the country due to the inability of politics to move forward in the right way.
For the sake of power and self-interest, the party and its leaders are doing whatever they want. Whatever the leader does, the citizens remain silent because of the distortion in politics. The current problem is the inability of the citizens to wake up. What is seen in the political circles now has caused frustration among the people. The attention of the government and the political parties has been diverted to save the lives of the people in the epidemic. Due to which corona infection has spread.
The patients have died due to lack of treatment. Corona epidemics are spreading like wildfire in every region. There is no shortage of black marketers and moneylenders at a time when the human community is struggling to survive the epidemic. The true nature of man is tested in times of crisis. At a time when the epidemic is trying to save lives, there are a lot of black marketers and money launderers.
As the market is closed due to the ban and the shops are open for a limited period of time, there are rumors that businessmen have started black-marketing by creating artificial shortage in consumer goods. Prices of daily necessities, including essential food items, have gone up arbitrarily. In times of crisis, consumers are forced to buy at double the price. At this time, the focus of all bodies is on epidemic control. Consumers have been forced to cheat by importing at cheap prices and selling at high prices saying there is a shortage.
It is not that there is no monitoring in the market shops of some districts, but monitoring in the market shops is not regular. Black market is adding financial burden to the consumers. There have also been reports of gangs selling drugs and selling counterfeit drugs. It is not that the activism of the police has not increased.
No political party or human rights activist seems to have paid attention to the issue of how to provide relief to the starving people and provide them with easy access to essential items. Black marketers should be brought under the ambit of action without any effort. One must support the other in the epidemic crisis. Stakeholders should be vigilant and consumers should be aware.
