A team of the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection (DNCRP) seized around 15,000 litres of Soybean oil from a warehouse in city’s Pahartali area today.

The authority of DNCRP seized the edible oil from the warehouse of Siraj Store at Billi Lane amid an ongoing crisis in the edible oil market.

Deputy Director of the DNCRP Md Foyez Ullah said the authority recovered 15,000 litres of soybean oil from Siraj Saudagar’s shop in city’s Pahartali area.

The hoarders intended to sell the oil at an increased price later, he added.

Earlier on Sunday, the directorate recovered 1,500 litres of soybean oil from the store of a retail shop at Karnaphuli Market.

The Upazila administration also found 2,328 litres of soybean oil stashed away in the home of a grocer in Fatikchhari on Saturday, reports BSS.
