ఆకాశాన్నంటిన టమాటా ధరలు.. కిలో @ రూ.400

దాయాది దేశం పాకిస్థాన్కు టమాటా కష్టాలు ఇప్పట్లో తప్పేలా కనిపించడం లేదు. కరాచీలో గత వారం రూ.300గా ఉన్న కిలో టమాటా ప్రస్తుతం రూ.400కు పెరిగినట్లు స్థానిక మీడియా ద్వారా తెలిసింది.

టమాటా

Published : Nov 20, 2019, 9:51 PM IST

పొరుగు దేశం పాకిస్థాన్లో టమాటా ధరలు మండిపోతున్నాయి. ముఖ్యంగా ఆ దేశంలో అతిపెద్ద నగరం కరాచీలో కిలో టమాటా ధర రూ.400 దాటింది.

భారీ వర్షాలకు టమాటా పంట దెబ్బతినడం.. భారత్ నుంచి దిగుమతులపై విధించిన ఆంక్షలు.. టమాటా ధరలు ఈ స్థాయిలో పెరిగేందుకు కారణమని స్థానిక మీడియా పేర్కొంది.

ఇరాన్ నుంచి దిగుమతి చేసుకున్నా..

ఇరాన్ నుంచి 4,500 టన్నుల టమాటా దిగుమతికి పాక్ ప్రభుత్వం గత వారం అనుమతినిచ్చింది. వాటి రాక మార్కెట్లో డిమాండుని తీర్చలేకపోయింది. ఫలితంగా ధరలు ఆకాశాన్నంటుతున్నట్లు స్థానికులు అంటున్నారు.

అయితే ఇరాన్ నుంచి మొత్తం 4,500 టన్నుల్లో ఇప్పటి వరకు.. 989 టన్నుల టమాటా మాత్రమే పాక్కు చేరుకున్నట్లు అక్కడి మీడియా వెల్లడించింది. కిలో టమాటాకు గతవారం ఉన్న రూ.300 నుంచి ఒక్క సారిగా రూ.400కు పెరగటం చూసి.. కరాచీ ప్రజలు కంగుతిన్నారు.

ఏరికోరి కష్టాలు..

జమ్ము కశ్మీర్లో ఆర్టికల్ 370 రద్దు తరువాత భారత్తో వ్యాపార సంబంధాలను తెంచుకుంది పాకిస్థాన్. ఫలితంగా భారత్ నుంచి పాక్కు టమాటా దిగుమతులు నిలిచిపోయాయి. దీనికి తోడు భారీ వర్షాలకు టమాటా పంట దెబ్బతినడం, ప్రభుత్వం సరైన చర్యలు తీసుకోకపోవడం వల్ల సమస్య మరింత తీవ్రమైంది.

ఇదీ చూడండి:త్వరలో పంచదార కష్టాలు... ధరలు భారీగా పెరిగే అవకాశం!

"What you do if you're fact checking as an independent, serious fact checker, is you provide accurate information, you provide sources that people can judge for themselves and you're honest about where you're coming from. And the Conservative Party yesterday was doing none of those. Instead, they changed their colours away from Conservative colours, they changed their name to Fact Check UK and they changed their logo away from a Conservative logo to a check mark. Twitter was right to call that an attempt to mislead and they are the experts on how their users use their platform."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Will Moy, Chief Executive of Full Fact:
"I think there is no doubt that Twitter users will have been misled by this. We study disinformation and disinformation techniques. We understand how people use social media platforms. We understand the impact of these visual changes and so on. People will have been misled. What we wanted to be doing today is talking about the content of the debate. The important choices that people are going to be making in three weeks time about Brexit, about the NHS and so on. And instead, we're talking about a choice by a political party. Instead of treating itself with respect and making its own arguments in its own name, to masquerade under another identity, to do its campaigning, I don't think that's helpful, particularly in a world when it's hard to know what to trust online."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Will Moy, Chief Executive of Full Fact:
"Well, we're a charity with a cross-party board of trustees. We have always had that backing. We've always had a wide range of funders from different political backgrounds. And the point of that is to create something independent of government, independent of the media that can help people make decisions about important things in their lives. So, for example, a lot of our work is actually about public health now. We're helping people decide whether or not to vaccinate their children because there's so much false information about that online. We're helping people make decisions about their finances and navigating that kind of information. And yes, we were helping people make choices about elections. In a world with more information than ever, it has become harder to know what to trust. And we need to make it easier for people to find trusted sources of information. Conservative Party yesterday made that harder. When they get into government they're going to be asking for people to trust them. Why squander their trust during the election campaign?"

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Will Moy, Chief Executive of Full Fact:
"What real fact checkers do is tell you where the uncertainty is. We'll tell you what we know and then we'll tell you what we don't know. What you saw from the Conservative Party yesterday was bold claims about the truth is this, about things people could not possibly know about. And that is misleading. So fact checkers aren't about telling you what to think. They're about giving you information to make up your own mind."

STORYLINE:
Britain's Conservative Party misled the public by changing the name of its press office Twitter account to "factcheckUK" during a televised election debate, the chief executive of a fact-checking charity said Thursday.
During a debate between Prime Minister Boris Johnson and opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn on Wednesday, the party rebranded to resemble a neutral fact-checking account, posting a series of tweets supporting Johnson during Tuesday’s debate.
It later reverted to the name “CCHQ Press” and restored the party logo to its profile.
"There is no doubt Twitter users will have been misled by this," Will Moy, chief executive of the London-based fact-checking website Full Fact, told British broadcaster, Sky News.
"In a world with more information that ever it has become harder to know what to trust, and we need to make it easier for people to find trusted sources for information," said Moy.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab defended the party’s actions, saying the Twitter account was clearly linked to the Conservatives and claiming voters would not be perturbed by the social media cut and thrust.
