PM’s directive to find out commodity syndicates, hoarders

Prime Minister and President of Bangladesh Awami League Sheikh Hasina has directed to find out commodity syndicates and hoarders in a bid to market prices stable.

The Prime Minister made the direction while addressing a program, marking the Jail Killing Day, at Bangabandhu International Conference Center in the city on Friday.

The Prime Minister raised a question why commodity prices are not stable in the market even though there is sufficient production and supply.

Noting that conspiracies are being hatched in many ways against the government, Sheikh Hasina said there is no shortage of any commodity as the production of everything including meat, fish, rice, potato and vegetables went up significantly in the country.

The head of the government said the production didn't decline to a slight extent. “We've increased the production of everything including potato, onion, rice and pulse,” she added.
