This causes a sudden decrease in supply in the market.
On the other hand, money inflation causes an automatic rise in the price of goods. Besides this, smuggling and black-marketing are noticeable causes for price-rise. Unusual price hike causes great problems to the people. People having lower income cannot buy their foods and clothing. They can not lead a sound life.This price hike actually paves the way for a wide-spread corruption and moral degradation in the society.

Smugglers and black marketers should be punished severely. On the other hand the govt. should have a strong financial policy to check money inflation. Only then we can hope for the better future.
