Fraud Businesses During Crises in our Country



People of our country are witty and fantastic because they know better how to capitalize on a sudden humanitarian crisis by creating artificial crisis by hoarding and keeping aside products  in storerooms and godowns. It can be any thing ranging from Mosquito Repellent, Golden Onions to Noble Masks.  People have to buy these products in high prices, but no problem, seasonal products are bit costlier everywhere.
But the process is disturbed by the law enforcers. Businesspersons, pharmacy owners are nowadays not well because the law enforcers including RAB and Magistrates do not tolerate their move of making some extra seasonal money by selling products of lower prices in high price. But here, business people have strong argument. They aspire to make some seasonal incomes by increasing the price of demanding valuable products such as mosquito repellents,  onions. It's illegal way of earning money. it’s a kind of treachery! 
The previous year, the unscrupulous businessmen tried to earn some money, by hoarding and increasing the prices of the mosquito repellents. But they could not leverage on it. You justify,  was it the right move of the RAB and Police to raid the pharmacies to fine and arrest those unscrupulous frausters? As the mortality rates have reduced significantly, so has led to slash the selling rates of medicines. So they wanted to sell seasonal masquitto repellents  in higher price to earn some seasonal money.  Some of the products were sold at only TK500/600 athough the label price was TK90. No problem because we the people are used to buying these valuable products. During the crisis, is it natural in Bangladesh that the prices of demanding prices would be stable? Cause some of the pharmacy authority argue, "Don't you spend more than label price to buy water or any products when you go to any park?" "Don't officials take underhand payment to have a signature?"  If it is okay, then where is the problem?  Here, the government designates those people as "unscrupulous" that does not correspond the innocence of pharmacy owners.  

In addition, business-persons are  not in good position although 62 percent Members of the Parliament are from business background.  They have to count loss every year because of labor insurgency and some other Hidden reasons. So last year, some quarters  wanted to glorify the face of onions only by increasing the prices of them. But the government controlled the situation when India stopped exporting those golden onions. That time,  onions were regarded as the aristocratic sign if it was found in any family. The syndicate wanted to keep up the status of onion above Gold. But the government did not want it. They foiled this move too.

But now the Corona Virus  has come down on earth to protect the so-called "unscrupulous" persons from poverty as the pharmaceutical shops are in distress in selling medicines. So they are trying to make their seasonal income by selling Noble Masks. The seasonal profits will be helpful in their rainy days. Prices of the Noble Marks are bit higher. Some of the Noble Masks are being sold at 1200! Noble means noble. Moreover, Noble Corona Virus requires NobleMasks to prevent it. People rush to the shops to buy NobleMask to prevent infection of COVID19.  In this circumstances, government is planning to contain the situation.  But is it fair?
