Kathmandu, 25 July: The price of  essential commodities of daily consumption has skyrocketed. The rise in prices has accelerated after Russia invaded Ukraine. Being connected to the world market, the government cannot completely control the price increase. However, it is not that the government cannot do anything. The government, which increases the salaries of government employees to protect them from inflation, never seems to be interested in easing the burden of the tax-paying public. The government did not try to stop the price increase by adopting internal measures. The government has partially reduced the tax after not being able to stop the increase in the price of petroleum products. If that decision had been made earlier, the market would probably have been relatively stable. A government that makes policy changes in the interest of classes and groups other than the common people should  regulate the market regularly and effectively for the people. Regular monitoring would also keep the market under discipline. People can be assured of the government only if there is a reduction in government expenditure and effective monitoring of the market. The test of people's patience can be counter productive for the government itself. If we see that there is a reduction in wasteful expenditure and effective monitoring of the market, the support and trust of the people towards the government will increase. Therefore, the government should do something visible so that the people do not feel disgusted with the state.
