Tangail: Fisheries and Livestock Adviser Farida Akhter today inaugurated the sale of milk, egg, and meat at affordable prices on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan. The initiative, organized by the Department of Livestock in Tangail, was launched at Janaseba Chattar, located next to the Deputy Commissioner’s office.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, this program has already been rolled out in 25 locations in Dhaka, as well as across all districts and several upazilas. The sales will run five days a week throughout Ramadan, offering beef at Tk 650 per kg, chicken at Tk 250 per kg, egg at Tk 114 per dozen, and cow’s milk at Tk 80 per liter.
Speaking at the launch, Adviser Farida Akhter emphasized the program’s goal of demonstrating that essential goods, including meat, milk, and egg, can be sold at affordable prices, especially during the high-demand period of Ramadan. She added that the areas selected for this initiative were chosen based on the presence of low-income communities and regions with notable involvement in the July mass uprising.
The adviser also mentioned that this program, which has already been implemented in Dhaka and all districts, is being expanded to multiple upazilas, with plans to continue it throughout the year. Superintendent of Police Mizanur Rahman, Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Abdullah Al Mamun, and District Fisheries and Animal Resources Officer Mostafizur Rahman were present at the event.
