Prices of essential commodities have skyrocketed in the United States as well

In the United States, too, the general public has been hit hard by rising prices of essential commodities.

People living in Washington have expressed pain that the prices of essential commodities are rising at rocket speeds.

A resident said that the price of half a kilo of fish sold for Rs. 500 has gone up to Rs.

Another said that he could spend a lot of money to buy very small quantities of goods and that the price of an apple had gone up to 105 rupees.

Many believe the sudden rise in prices is due to the economic downturn caused by the corona curfew in the United States and the impact of freight traffic.
