Steep electricity bills

People were terribly worried about inflation due to taxes, falling rupee value and increased prices of goods — now there is the added problem of inflated electricity bills due to increased rates.

Before most of the salary went into paying taxes and high prices of goods, but now increased electricity bill lead to all the salary gone. So what happens to the other needs of people?

It’s my humble request to the government to take serious action in this regard. Thomas Jefferson said that the care of human life and happiness and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.

I hope this government realises that, unlike them, people have limited amount of money and we cannot go to IMF or any foreign government to help us finance the budget of our household.
