Any trader is happy to buy cheap and sell high. It is natural for a businessman to have sometimes loss and sometimes profit in business. However, it is never natural to take profit by charging higher prices to the general public. The government has reduced the customs rate of gold import by 50 percent.
When the customs price is reduced, the price of gold will also decrease. However, why are the traders who sell gold at higher prices when the customs duty is high, now they are increasing the price of arbitrary wages in an opaque manner? Why is the agency that prosecutes traders doing two numbers inactive?
As the customs rate decreased, the common people were hoping to get cheap gold, but the traders have started charging high prices for gold and wages. What is the fate of Nepalese people who have to be cheated by the common people anyway? What is the law of this country? Business can be done but no one can cheat in the name of business.
Now the price of gold is falling in the international arena, the government has also reduced the customs rate by 50 percent. Even though the price decreased by more than 15,000 rupees in Tola when the customs fell However, the traders did not let the general public feel relieved. They are selling at higher prices under many pretexts. Not only gold, but every commodity has its own market price, the price of the same commodity varies from market to market. The public continues to be cheated by the silence of regulatory bodies. Who will listen to the voice of the common people in this country?
