JS body for fish export ban in Ramadan
The parliamentary watchdog on commerce ministry will recommend for halting export of fish during Ramadan to ensure its sufficient supply in the market.
“We'll suggest the [commerce] ministry today to stop fish export … hope the fish export will stop,” said Chairman of the committee ABM Abul Kashem told reporters after visiting two kitchen markets in the city yesterday.
On Sunday, apex trade body FBCCI urged the government to halt the export of fish during Ramadan mentioning that the monitoring cell of the FBCCI had found the export of fish created supply shortage in the markets and therefore, the prices shot up with the start of Ramadan.
COMMODITY PRICES STABLE
Yesterday, Abul Kashem expressed satisfaction over the market situation after visiting Karwan Bazar kitchen market. He talked to buyers and sellers regarding the prices of fish, edible oil, rice and other commodities. “I'm very happy to hear that the prices of essentials remain at tolerable level though the prices were higher on the eve of Ramadan,” Kashem said. The JS body's monitoring team also visited Mohammadpur kitchen market at noon. Senior officials of the commerce ministry, FBCCI Director M Helal Uddin, magistrates and police personnel were also present during the visit.
