In pictures: OMS trucks sell rice for Tk30 per kg

Amid the rice price hike in Bangladesh, the Open Market Sales (OMS) trucks, from the Ministry of Food, were seen selling rice at Tk30 per kg in the capital.

In the past one month, prices of rice have gone up by Tk5-8 per kg, and in the last week, alarmingly up by Tk2-5 per kg.

The cabinet on Monday directed the relevant authorities to find out why the rice price is so high during the peak harvest season.
