Sabzi Mehngi, Aam Banda Pareshan – Karachi Ki Sabzi Mandi Ki Kahani
Karachi me sabzi mehngi, aam banda pareshan hai. Ye baat ab har ghar ki kahani ban gayi hai.
Subah jab aurat sabzi wale ke paas jati hai to pehle daam poochti hai, phir wapas aa jati hai. Pehle jo thaila bhar ke sabzi aati thi, ab wo aadha thaila bhi nahi aati. Paisa utna hi hai, sabzi aadhi ho gayi hai.
Bhai, mera naam Imran hai. Me Karachi me rehta hun. Mere 4 bache hain. Me mazdoori karta hun. Din ka 1200, 1500 kamata hun. Ab tum khud socho, is me kiraya bhi dena hai, bijli ka bill bhi dena hai, bacho ki fees bhi deni hai, aur ghar me sabzi bhi lani hai. Kahan se poora hoga?
Subah 7 baje me sabzi mandi jata hun. Sochta hun sasti mil jayegi. Wahan ja kar pata chalta hai, mandi me bhi daam wohi hain jo mohalle me hain. Bas 10, 20 rupay ka farq hota hai.
Tamatar dekho to 250 rupay kilo. Pyaz 180 rupay kilo. Aloo 150 rupay kilo. Bhindi 300 rupay kilo. Karela 280 rupay kilo. Gobi 200 rupay kilo. Ab banda kya khaye?
Kal meri biwi ne bola, tamatar le aao, salan banana hai. Me gaya, tamatar wale ne bola 250 rupay kilo. Mene bola bhai aadha kilo de do. Usne aadha kilo diya, 125 rupay liye. Ghar aaya to biwi boli, itne se tamatar me kya banega? Mene bola, jitne paise the utne hi aaye.
Pehle jab tamatar 50 rupay kilo tha, tab ghar me roz salan banta tha. Ab hafte me 2 din salan banta hai, baaki din daal ya aalu ka salan. Bache kehte hain, abbu gosht kab aayega? Me kehta hun beta, gosht to door ki baat hai, ab to sabzi bhi mushkil ho gayi hai.
Sabzi wala bhi pareshan hai. Uska naam Nazeer hai. Wo kehta hai, bhai me kya karun? Mandi se hi mehnga milta hai. Petrol mehnga hai, gaari ka kiraya barh gaya hai. Jo sabzi gaon se aati hai, uska kiraya hi itna lag jata hai ke daam barh jate hain. Upar se jo sabzi kharab ho jati hai, uska nuksan bhi hamein hi uthana parta hai.
Nazeer kehta hai, pehle din me 100 kilo sabzi bechta tha, ab 40 kilo bhi mushkil se bechta hun. Log aate hain, daam poochte hain, aur chale jate hain. Koi aadha pao leta hai, koi pao leta hai. Kilo lene wala to ab koi raha hi nahi.
Mandi me ek aurat mili, uska naam Naseem Bibi hai. Wo kehti hai, beta pehle me 500 rupay me pure hafte ki sabzi le jati thi. Ab 500 rupay me to 2 din ki sabzi bhi nahi aati. Tamatar lo to pyaz reh jata hai, pyaz lo to aloo reh jata hai. Samajh nahi aata kya lun, kya chorun.
Naseem Bibi ke shohar ka inteqal ho gaya hai. Wo logon ke ghar kaam karti hai. Mahine ka 15000 kamati hai. Us me se 8000 kiraya de deti hai. Baaki 7000 me poora mahina chalana hai. Ab tum batao, 7000 me kya hoga? Bijli ka bill 2500 aa jata hai. Baaki 4500 me khana, peena, dawai, sab kuch. Wo kehti hai, kabhi kabhi to me khana nahi khati, bachon ko khila deti hun. Kehti hai, maa ka pait to bhar hi jata hai, bacha bhooka na soye.
Ye sirf Naseem Bibi ki kahani nahi hai. Karachi ke har gareeb ghar ki yehi kahani hai.
Ab sawaal ye hai ke sabzi itni mehngi kyun ho gayi? Mandi wale batate hain, 3 wajha hain.
Pehli wajha, petrol mehnga hai. Jo truck gaon se sabzi le kar aata hai, uska kiraya pehle 20000 tha, ab 40000 ho gaya hai. To sabzi wala wo kiraya bhi to sabzi ke daam me hi dalega na.
Doosri wajha, mousam kharab hai. Barish zyada hui, fasal kharab ho gayi. Jab fasal kam aayegi to daam to barhenge hi.
Teesri wajha, beech me bade bade log hain. Kisan se sabzi sasti li jati hai, mandi tak aate aate 3, 4 hatho se guzarti hai. Har banda apna munafa rakhta hai. Aakhir me jo daam aam bande tak pohnchta hai, wo dugna ho jata hai.
Kisan ko kya milta hai? Kisan kehta hai, hamein to tamatar 60 rupay kilo milta hai, aage ja kar 250 ka ho jata hai. To faida kisko hua? Beech wale ko hua. Mar to kisan bhi raha hai aur khane wala bhi mar raha hai.
Ab aam banda kya kare? Kuch logon ne apna tareeqa nikal liya hai.
Kuch log ab sabzi lena hi chor diya hai. Sirf daal aur chawal khate hain. Daal bhi mehngi hai, lekin sabzi se sasti hai.
Kuch log shaam ko sabzi lete hain. Shaam ko sabzi wala sasti kar deta hai, kyun ke usko pata hai sabzi kharab ho jayegi. To shaam ko jo tamatar subah 250 ka tha, wo shaam ko 150 ka mil jata hai. Lekin wo tamatar aadha kharab hota hai.
Kuch aurtein ghar me hi dhaniya, podina, mirch uga leti hain. Gamle me laga leti hain. Kehti hain, chalo ye to bachega.
Meri biwi ne bhi yehi kiya hai. Usne ghar ki chhat par 2 gamlo me tamatar lagaye hain. Kehti hai, dekhte hain hota hai ya nahi. Lekin ye sab se kya hoga? Ghar ka salan to phir bhi bazaar se hi aayega.
Bacho ka haal dekho. Pehle bache kehte the, ammi bhindi banao. Ab kehte hain, ammi jo sasta ho wohi banao. Bacho ko bhi pata chal gaya hai ke ghar me paise kam hain. Chota bacha 7 saal ka hai, wo kehta hai, abbu me bara ho kar sabzi bechunga, sasti bechunga. Sun kar hansi bhi aati hai aur rona bhi aata hai.
School me bache ka lunch dekho. Pehle bache paratha aur salan le jate the. Ab sukhhi roti aur achaar le jate hain. Teacher poochti hai to bacha kehta hai, ammi ne yehi diya hai. Teacher ko kya pata, ghar me kya chal raha hai.
Dukaan wala kehta hai, bhai udhaar band hai. Pehle log udhaar pe sabzi le jate the, mahine ke aakhir me paise de dete the. Ab dukaan wala udhaar nahi deta, kehta hai mera bhi ghar nahi chal raha. To jo banda roz kamata hai, roz khata hai, uska kya hoga? Agar us din kaam na mile to us din ghar me chulha hi nahi jalega.
Me ne ek din apne mohalle ke sabzi wale se poocha, bhai tum kya kama lete ho? Usne bola, bhai din ka 800, 1000 bachta hai. Us me se thele ka kiraya 300 hai. Baaki 500, 700 me ghar chalana hai. Uske bhi 3 bache hain. Wo bhi to aam banda hi hai na.
To ye ladai sirf khane wale ki nahi hai, bechne wale ki bhi hai. Dono pareshan hain. Beech me jo bare log hain, wo maze me hain.
Hukoomat kehti hai, mehngai kam ho rahi hai. TV pe khabar aati hai, sab kuch sasta ho gaya hai. Lekin jab hum mandi jate hain to hamein sasta kuch nahi dikhta. Pata nahi wo sasta kahan hota hai. Shayad TV pe hi sasta hota hai, bazaar me to nahi.
Aam bande ko kya chahiye? Usko badi gari nahi chahiye, bara ghar nahi chahiye. Usko bas ye chahiye ke uske bache raat ko bhooke na soyein. Usko bas ye chahiye ke wo izzat se 2 waqt ki roti kha sake. Kya ye bhi zyada maang hai?
Me jab raat ko ghar aata hun to bache poochte hain, abbu kya laye ho? Me thaila dikhata hun, us me aadha kilo aloo, pao tamatar, pao pyaz hota hai. Bache khush ho jate hain. Kehte hain, aaj to salan banega. Unki khushi dekh kar dil bhar aata hai. Sochta hun, kash me zyada kama sakta, kash sabzi sasti hoti.
Kabhi kabhi sochta hun, Karachi chor kar gaon chala jaun. Wahan to apni zameen hogi, apni sabzi hogi. Lekin gaon me kaam kahan hai? Wahan bhi to yehi haal hai. Gaon me bhi to khaad mehngi hai, beej mehnga hai, pani nahi hai. To kahan jayein?
Ab aakhri baat ye hai ke iska hal kya hai? Hal ye hai ke hukoomat ko mandi pe nazar rakhni chahiye. Jo beech me munafa kha raha hai, usko rokna chahiye. Kisan se seedha sabzi aam bande tak aani chahiye. Agar kisan ko sahi daam mile aur aam bande ko sasti sabzi mile, to dono khush rahenge.
Aur dusra hal ye hai ke hum logon ko bhi ek doosre ka khayal rakhna chahiye. Agar mohalle me koi bhooka hai to usko khana de dena chahiye. Aaj uski bari hai, kal hamari bhi ho sakti hai. Allah ka shukar hai ke abhi tak ghar me chulha jal raha hai.
Meri dua hai ke sabzi sasti ho jaye. Tamatar phir se 50 ka ho jaye, pyaz 40 ka ho jaye. Phir se ghar me roz salan bane, bache pait bhar ke khayein. Bas yehi dua hai.
Agar tum bhi Karachi me rehte ho, to batao, tumhare mohalle me tamatar kya bhav hai? Pyaz kya bhav hai? Comment me likhna, taake sab ko pata chale ke kahan sabzi sasti hai, kahan mehngi hai.
