I also heard about the scarcity of medicines. My chemists told me that there could be some disruption for a week or so. He also told me that everybody is trying to sell old stock as they will not get any credit for it. I asked my chemist to send me few of essential medicines including Live52 and D'Protein and I find that both have increased their price one from Rs.85 to Rs.95 and the other, Rs 550 to Rs.578.

As if demonetisation has not taught them a.lesson that they are trying to do another blunder. Poor people have no.say in the matter but just to tolerate & bear the follies of others or to close their business to show their opposition. In either case businessmen are bound to suffer & due to artificial shortage of things bear the higher.prices of the commodities. more
