Continuing worry

The editorial "A continuing worry" (Feb. 12) voices the concerns of the ordinary people when it says inflation imposes a tax on the poor who bear the brunt of the price rise in commodities of daily use. It is true that monetary measures alone cannot solve the problem and only a "multi-pronged strategy" will help in containing price rise.
