Labour and Employment Adviser Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuiyan on Saturday said the Consumers’ Right Protection Act would be strengthened through amendments to deal with commodity prices in the country.
“I have already talked to the honourable commerce adviser in this regard. The matter is under process and will be done very soon,” he said while addressing a programme organised by the Conscious Consumers Society in the capital.
“We hope to succeed in dealing with commodity prices through the strict enforcement of the Consumers’ Right Protection Act.”
Asif Mahmud said the farmers’ market in Bangladesh is very big – about 15 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP).
He urged the youth to engage themselves in the agricultural sector, saying the government would provide them with all kinds of support.
