Extraordinary times

Inflation is a phenomenon that occurs very rarely. But, what we are experiencing now is something extra ordinary. Inflation continues to rise for the past few months and is increasing by almost one per cent each month. The common man is paying a heavy price for all his requirements. The sole reason attributed to this inflation is the increase in oil prices. As a middle class pensioner, I feel the pinch of inflation and I wonder how the low income people are running their life. The Central and State governments should take immediate steps to arrest the rise in prices.
