hardest mount of mouth watering dates. just but back if nanny's look forward to. after a day of fasting, during ramadan, but this year and indulgence to bracy for many dates, i being thought foot up to 3.5 years, a kilo unaffordable for many households. but staggering food costs, i got the, the inflation has risen so much that things that we're selling for $200.00 rupees per kilo last year. and now priced at $500.00 rupees. at the same time petro bus fares, rent, and other expenses have also increased tremendously. what can we do? high prices mean many jabbers for i did a field to find deals at wholesale market and then the other grand, everything is become too costly. i asked the government to reduce prices because of ramadan. they should think of the muslims who are fasting,

their appall laborers here, who push wheelbarrows from morning until evening, and earn only 250 rupees at the end of the day. what are they going to eat? during ramadan, though, i got the prices of really risen this year. what can a poor person do? we cannot buy anything. i'm a working woman myself. i work for other households. why can people like me do pakistan is going to its worst economic crisis in years. inflation has 30 more than 30 percent. the pakistani state usually office relief packages during the month of ramadan. but this year the cash strapped government has little to give me the coolness of isa. the government has only arranged flour at discounted prices. nothing else. i think that's not enough. the government should also pay attention to the price of sugar, cooking oil and other things that are consumed during ramadan order. the government

should subsidize some items, especially cooking oil company, bought by them. oh, the country prepares for the month, conceded williams in his slam. many seemed to have lost their feet in the state that governs them. oh, there is a loss of faith in the state in india as well, where many women are upset at not receiving justice for sham marriages. there were duped into this is the story of india's n. r. i brides women who married indian men based oversees so called non resident indians or and arrows only to be duped into being huge amounts in dowry and then abandoned by their husbands. some 40000 women have faced such a situation across the country with this being a problem, particularly in the northern state of punjab. santo's gore was married for only 15 days when her husband suddenly left for the united states. leaving had
