Petrol and Gas Prices Sky-Rocketing
Dear Papa, it is nearly one month since the start of the National highway economic blockade. The agitators are the Naga students. Prices of all commodities are sky rocketing. Petrol cost was 31 rupees /litre and now sells for 95 rupees/litre. Petrol is being adulterated by unscrupulous dealers. Cooking gas which cost 280 rupees/bottle now costs 900 rupees/bottle. Because of these price increases people can hardly afford to buy anything. Life in Manipur has become hard. Each day has become a struggle for the people to exist.
During the inauguration of the Diplomatic Centre close to one thousand people turned up. We expected several hundred people, which we had catered for. Although so many came, we were able to feed them all. Many people from Government departments came and participated on this great day. We slaughtered a cow and a pig and it fed all the people.
The fishery farm we purchased with funds received from BWAA (Baptist World Aid Association) is a great help. They have helped us a lot. A special organization was set up to receive funds from BWAA called, “Manipur Mission Community Aid Development Service”. The organisation will be working in cooperation with ROLWE Australia.
