The rates of essential commodities has gone up 30 % in last 5 years in Qatar namely Cooking oil , bread , vegetables , fruits to name a few .

When rents scoared sky high in Qatar in 2006 , no action was taken by anybody . Everybody paid high rents and stayed on .

Once something goes up , it will not come down , this is universal law across the world .

Who suffers are the people with less wages namely labourers and workers .

So i fully agree with you that before taking decisions , there should be lot of insight work done , before implementing certain things .

Now One good thing the authorities have done is frozen the prices of essential commododities for RAMADAAN Period -so there is no exploitation of people by hiking prices which happens so often during ramadaan period here .
