It seems it needed some students to initiate a  price check campaign , that after 40 days the tie-coat suite loving,  english speaking Imphal DC , have finally got himself out of his comfy chair and decided to do a price check list from our ‘VERY POOR ‘ businessmen , who are striving hard to make some money during this crisis time .

I am fortunate to hear this news from one my freinds on facebook and thought of sharing this .a price list have been submitted by the ‘POOR SHOPKEEPERS’ community and have submitted a price list of commodities being sold in Kawramband Keithel . here are some of the price list – price list is the 10 pc charge on retail price.

Dear Readers  , I know that it is hard stepping out from our own comfort zones and but it would make a huge difference if we could step out especially during this time and share our concerns atleast with our words and opinions . These burecrats and ministers need to be told again and again especially by right thinking educated individuals for in such we can build a very vocal society where the voices speak sense and responsibility .

At the moment , we don’t speak for it seems we don’t even have the ‘courage’ to formed / voiced our opinions.Or is it lack of any ‘will’ on our part .

The DC took 40 days to do some of his duties which should have been done even before the crisis started . but how long are we going to take to even formed an opinion leave alone any formed of pro-active actions .

Or are we just going to find the reasons behind our lack of activity , the abscence of even ideas or is it just a reflection of a Laisu heitaba mindset where we are more focus on self serving ideas and works !!
