The state-run Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) is set to resume its sales program through trucks on Monday, aiming to provide essential commodities at subsidized rates to consumers in the Dhaka and Chittagong metropolitan areas.
According to a media release issued on Sunday, the TCB will offer items such as edible oil, lentils, sugar, chickpeas, and dates through mobile trucks.
This initiative is designed to assist low-income families and stabilize market prices.
The purchase limits and pricing includes: 2 liters of edible oil at Tk100 per liter, 2kg of lentils and chickpeas at Tk60 per kg, 1kg of sugar at Tk70, and 500g of dates at Tk155.
Each consumer is allowed to purchase the specified quantities to ensure wider distribution among the populace.
The TCB announced that the initiative will begin in Dhaka and Chittagong, with plans to expand to other divisional cities and select districts in the near future.
Consumers are encouraged to queue at designated truck station points to avail themselves of these subsidized goods.
