Prime Minister's Instructions to District Commissioners to Prevent Hoarding and Inflation

News Desk: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has directed the District Commissioners to monitor the market situation, prevent stockpiling and price increase. At the same time, he called upon everyone to work to stop adulteration and prevent the emergence of juvenile gangs. He gave these instructions at the inauguration ceremony of the four-day Deputy Commissioner (DC) Conference-2024 from Shapla Hall of the Prime Minister's Office on Sunday (March 3).

The Prime Minister said, 'The market situation should be looked at. When Ramadan comes, some traders want to increase the price by stocking up and taking profit. Care must be taken to ensure that consumers are not harassed anywhere. Importance should be given to our own production rather than depending on foreign countries. Care must be taken to ensure that the essential products reach the common people. Food adulteration should also be looked into.

This increases with fasting. He said, now there are some big problems. Look at the origin of teenage gangs. Studying boys and girls why get involved in this? Everyone should see it. Everyone including parents and teachers should increase vigilance in schools-college-universities. Monitoring should be increased whether boys and girls go to educational institutions or not. Parents should be aware. There is no use in arresting (teenagers).

Getting arrested will make things worse by mixing with criminals. The problem must be solved from scratch.
