BITTER TASTE OF SUGAR


From past few times we have seen the sky rocketting prices of food items.But,the sugar prices have disturbed the budget of AAM ADMI, price of sugar has reached to more that 40 rupees/kg.Farmers get 180 to 200 rupees per quintal for sugarcane and common man including farmers buy sugar for more than 40 rupees /kg.It is well known fact that shopkeepers and other businessmen are doing blackmarketing of sugar ,government and authorities are well aware about it but they are just watching the worst situation of common man.Fast growth rate is of no use for common man because he wants food on cheaper rate.Not only prices of sugar but prices of other eatables are also beyond the reach of common man.Dr. Manmohan Singh and other responsible people should firstly look into this matter instead of giving statements on Ruchika and SPS Rathore's case because court knows its work very well.It is the responsibilty of media to focus such problem on the place of spoiling too much time in Ruchika case and other Masala news.Agriculture minister Mr.Sharad Pawar has only prepared statement that food inflation will be under control with in few days he should come with some solid solution rather that befooling the people.Everyone should realise the condition of food crises in the world if in this situation if farmers will be deserted then how can we ensure the food security for our nation?
