In the month of September alone, the food department will distribute 1800 metric tons of rice under this programme. The helpless and poor day laborers will directly benefit by buying this rice at a low price. This initiative of the government is playing an important role in preventing the increase in commodity prices. The Deputy Commissioner also said that this program promised by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of the poor people. Many resorted to various irregularities and corruption to disrupt the program. Strict action will be taken if there is any kind of irregularity-corruption in the food friendly program. Even the rice selling activities are being properly monitored to bring transparency in the programme. District Food Controller Mahmudul Hasan said that the government is subsidizing more than Tk 27 per kg of rice for the food friendly program. So that the low income population is getting this benefit. Information of all the beneficiaries under this program for poor people is included online to keep food supply normal. So that the same person does not come under multiple benefits and no helpless poor person is left out. Sagari Begum, who buys rice for Tk 15 per kg, said that she has been getting this rice for several years. Since the beginning, I have been buying rice at the rate of 10 taka per kg. But due to the increase in the price of goods, it has been increased to 15 rupees from now. Rice is now being sold at Tk 55-60 per kg in the market. We cannot buy this rice and eat it. 15 kg of rice has reduced our cost a lot.
