Commerce Adviser Sk Bashir Uddin on Wednesday said that the government will take necessary steps to amend the Consumer Rights Protection Act, 2009 and strengthen administrative capacity.
He made the statement while addressing a program on "Strengthening Consumer Rights," organized by the Consumers Association of Bangladesh (CAB) and the Directorate of National Consumers' Right Protection (DNCRP) in the city.
"Once institutions are built and capacity is developed, wrongdoers will inevitably be held accountable," he said.
Bashir said fascist Sheikh Hasina has destroyed many institutions, various forms of market syndication have taken place, and consumer rights have been severely harmed.
"Now it is our time to rebuild our institutions," he added.
The adviser also noted that due to proper market monitoring, a sense of relief has emerged among consumers.
“The Ministry of Commerce is making every effort to ensure market stability and consumer comfort,” he added.
