Long power cut around Jajmau

 Recently, Jajmau residents faced a long power cut. It was quite intolerable. Some residents were reportedly sheltered at their relatives' residences in nearby localities. It was definitely a harrowing experience, undoubtedly. People, anyhow, tolerated the worst situation. Such a long-duration power failure in the main localities of the Jajmau area left hapless residents, old ladies, young mothers, and others leaving their homes for relatives' homes, where power supply continued without any disruption.  A totally different scene erupted over a little longer power disruption in Jajmau. There was no clear-cut information about the restoration of the power supply.

Inflation impacts

Undeniably, price rise disturbs consumers at this point in time. There remains an apparent hike in the price of pulses. The moong dal prices have definitely gone upward. There is no way to deny it.

The wholesale inflation has increased to 1.26% in April. This is the highest level of inflation in 13 months, as reports claim. 

So, this is bound to impact the retail prices. It cannot be denied altogether. But the common man has no other option than to humbly bear it. 

Earlier in March 2023, the wholesale inflation rate was 1.34%. Inflation has increased due to the increase in prices of food items, as the market trends show amply. 

Whereas a month before this, in March 2024, it was recorded at 0.53%. Whereas wholesale inflation was 0.20% in February and 0.27% in January respectively. 

Wholesale inflation was 0.20% in February and 0.27% in January. Food inflation increased from 4.65% to 5.52%. 

The inflation rate of daily goods has really increased from 4.51% to 5.01%. With perhaps the exception of concern over inflation, all of these trends have criticised the comfort-driven straight expectations of traditional consumers. 

However, food items have become expensive since April. The inflation rate in March 2024 was 4.85%. The food inflation rate has increased from 8.52% to 8.78%.
