Bhagabat Padhi,Odishabarta

GAJAPATI,(Paralakhemundi):Declaration of shut Down from 28th to 30th June awaiting crowd pulling hobnobbing vegetable vendors soaring high price of available stock.

Scarcity of vegetables not felt rather customers at ease to purchase at hiked rate for example potatoes minimum Rs.28 to Rs.35, Onion Rs.30 to 40 varying area wise. Why the vegetables rates skied up (?).

So, this is the high time for authorities of monitoring market price to assess need to be monitored where stock of vegetables still plenty. But quantum to fill bags for 3 days isolation and chaos where even ants or flies too covered.

Ration shops too not left bargaining even some stocks of regular use still scarcity like choice able Red Level leaf  tea which medium & those habitual categories enjoy.

Despite all demand increasing but those hand to mouths who need daily purchase after day’s hard labour may feel scarcity to keep stock.No doubt it is wide eye open of 400 crossed marks of positive who knows door to door vigil by medical team on these shut down hours more positive cases may be canned. That stupefying how Jack & Jill of regular cautions to follow norms at Kirana or vegetable spots still missing social distancing feeling casual than inviting Corona jinx. If so one cannot miss continuation of Shut Down & what happen of those woes of daily roti feeders. Still those guessing of disobeying rules must be punished and penalized. Streetwise patrolling to avoid come out from home can be a lesson. Unless the district administration reacts, possibility can’t be ruled out and the administration may lose their goodwill.
