DNCRP steps up market monitoring; conducts drives in 21 districts
Special task forces spearheaded the initiative
Dhaka, Nov 29 - In a bid to ensure price stability and a steady supply of essential goods, the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection (DNCRP) has conducted market drives across 21 districts, imposing fines of Tk 4,70,500 on 61 businesses for various irregularities.
In a media release, the DNCRP said that Thursday’s operations focused on key essential items like potatoes, vegetables, eggs, broiler chickens, lentils, onions, garlic, ginger and edible oils.
Special task forces spearheaded the initiative, conducting drives in Dhaka Metropolitan areas and other districts simultaneously.
In Dhaka, seven teams led by DNCRP officials inspected markets and oversaw pricing compliance. Across the country, a total of 32 teams carried out similar monitoring activities.
The market monitoring drive aimed to address irregularities and prevent unfair practices amid rising concerns about essential commodity prices.
The DNCRP said that their ongoing drives are part of a broader effort to protect consumer rights and maintain stability in the supply chain.-UNB
