Govt trying to tame rising prices of commodities: Tajul  

Bangladesh government has been trying to rein in the rising prices of commodities in the local market although in the international market prices of essential items are continuously rising, said Local Government Rural Development and Co-operatives (LGRD) Minister Tajul Islam.

The minister made this comment while speaking as the chief guest at a seminar titled 'Livability and the Role of Local Government: Bangladesh Perspective' of Environmental Fest-2022, organized by the Bangladesh University of Professional-BUP at Mirpur Cantonment Wednesday.

 “After grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic for around 2.5 years, the world has been recovering from the pandemic gradually but the Russian offensive against Ukraine pushed the world into another crisis. As our government took special initiative to increase the internal resources and also put emphasis on producing local food items in a large quantity, Bangladesh have been able to tackle the situation, “ Tajul added.  

After the seminar, he visited various stalls set up by the students around the country from 35 universities.

BUP Vice Chancellor Major General Mahbub Ul Alam, NDC was present as special guest in the seminar while the main article was presented by the Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Public Administration SM Yobaidul Karim.
