Unb, Dhaka
Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) launches a drive in the city today against those who would charge higher price of sugar than the usual rate.They have already started warning the shopkeepers through Dhaka City Corporation to take necessary actions against those who would charge excess price of sugar. Sugar price has marked a rise by Tk 3 per kilogram immediately after the announcement of the budget for 2007-08, proposing increase in specific import duty on raw sugar import from Tk 2,250 per tonne to Tk 4,000. "The budgetary measure comes into effect on July 1. If anyone charges higher prices before that day, we'll take necessary actions against him," Chief Coordinator of BDR's 'Operation Dal-Bhat' Lt Col Fazle Akbar told UNB. He said sugar should be sold at the price as it was before the announcement of the budget.
