The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) has called upon traders to sell products at prices fixed by the government to keep the market stable ahead of Eid –Ul- Azha.
FBCCI Senior Vice-president and convener of market monitoring committee Mostofa Azad Chowdhury made the call at a discussion meeting with Mohammadpur Town Hall, Dhaka North City Corporation Kitchen Market Traders Association Saturday afternoon.
During the meeting, Mostofa Azad urged to keep the domestic market stable and not to capitalize on the global market crisis.
He instructed the market committee for monitoring the market to ensure that the products are sold at the prices fixed by the government.
Ahead of Eid-ul-Azha, still there is no crisis of spices, he told reporters after the meeting.
“FBCCI will recommend the names to the govt. agencies for punitive measures if it finds anyone responsible for creating an artificial crisis by stockpiling goods,” he said.
Besides, he urged the mill owners to send the dealers list for sugar, salt, flour etc. to FBCCI.
President of Mohammadpur Townhall Dhaka North City Corporation Kitchen Market Merchant Association Md. Lutfar Rahman (Babul) informed that the association shut down the shops which were accused of stockpiling and selling goods at a higher price and this will continue in future.
Among others, FBCCI Director Bijoy Kumar Kejriwal, Harun-Or Roshid, General Secretary of Mohammadpur Townhall Dhaka North City Corporation Kitchen Market Merchant Association Md. Muslim Uddin Shikder were also present at the meeting.
