But the promise to approach good days still remains a distant dream as an increase in essential commodity prices such as gasoline , Diesel, gas cooking and vegetables continue to hit people from all parts, “he said.

Non-moral traders, intermediaries and syndicates that run with government blessings are the main reason for price increases , “Alleged Borah.
