Amid the uptrend in rice prices, the Ministry of Food on Sunday formed three committees and set up a control room to monitor the retail markets of rice in the capital.
Sumon Mehedi, information officer of the ministry, said the ministry has taken various initiatives, including holding meetings with rice traders and mill owners, as the rice prices kept steadily rising.
Apart from setting up a control room at the ministry, three monitoring committees have been formed to keep the prices stable through strong monitoring.
“The control room has been set up in order to control the rising trend in rice prices, assist the people of low-income groups and keep the prices stable in the market,” said a handout.
People can provide information or lodge any rice market-related complaint to the control room over phone (029540027, 01642967727), Mehedi added.
The first committee consists of Md Mahbubur Rahman, senior assistant secretary (external procurement) of the Ministry of Food, Utpal Kumar Saha, additional director (movement) and Saiful Kabir Khan, deputy director (procurement) of Directorate General of Food.
