Why has the customer to be at the receiving end always? A group of scoundrels had found means of earning quick bucks in these troubled times by sourcing rotten meat from dumping grounds and supplying to the city’s restaurants; a reprimandable offence, undoubtedly. A little contemplation leads anyone to understand that there are bigger bosses calling the shots from behind, justifying huge unemployment problems in the state. But who had to pay the final price in the end? We, the scape goats...
We’d been allured with colourful advertisements, tortured with aroma of restaurant food… and had given in. Again upon discovering that we had been fed rotten meat in the name of fast food delicacies popular over the world; we tamed our taste buds and had just started to be happy with home-made meat dishes; taking time and effort to see to it that the meat got butchered and dressed before our eyes .. when suddenly we come to know that our favourite dish, fish is in danger. As raids are being conducted in pulling down slaughterhouses alleged to having mixed rotten meat with fresh batches and selling to the restaurants, the price of meat has also started to rise.
Some greedy, power-wielding tradesmen had given their dictate to soar prices of trading of the innocent animal in addition, to cash in on the present situation. Fish occupies the palate of the greater Bengali population regularly without which the community finds difficulty to survive and so they would be compelled to dole out a little more cash from their pockets if needed ..
