State minister directs DCs to monitor situation
Six essential food items will be sold to 10 million families through the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) during Ramada, State Minister for Commerce Ahasanul Islam Titu has said.
He has directed the deputy commissioners (DCs) to monitor the goods so that they reach the people of the country properly.
He said this while talking to reporters after a meeting with DCs on the second day of the DC Conference at Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the capital on Monday.
The state minister said TCB products will be sold through permanent shops from next year instead of trucks. Before Ramadan, 100,000 metric tons of sugar and 50,00,000 metric tons of onion will be imported from India.
He said: "The price of oil has been reduced by Tk10 to reduce duty. There is enough supply of all products ahead of Ramadan. No prices of any products will be increased.”
