750 Rupees a Kilogram, Zero Accountability
Mutton at Rs 750 a kilogram in Srinagar is not a market headline. It is a governance test. Cooking gas, oil, and vegetables have climbed too, while the salaried middle and lower-middle classes absorb the shock in silence. The state already has the machinery: market committees, price cells, consumer law, licensing powers. So why does enforcement arrive late, if at all? Who verified supply chains? Who audited the committees? Who checked whether the press notes reflected the street, or merely recycled routine? Jurisdiction without enforcement is theatre. Accountability without inspection is vocabulary. A society that has endured disruption with patience deserves more than announcements. It deserves measurement, intervention, and consequences. The question is not whether the administration knows the problem. It is why, quarter after quarter, the same problem reappears with different wording and no answer. What, then, was verified before release at all?
