Tk 10 rice: Food minister warns exploiters
Food Minister Qamrul Islam today warned of actions against violators who intend to exploit the Tk 10/kilogramme rice distribution programme for the poor.
“We want to keep the programme beyond all controversy. No irregularities will be tolerated,” he told the media in a press briefing at his secretariat office.
“There will be no discrimination in the distribution of rice based on political affiliation,” he said.
He also sought all out media support for smooth running of the programme.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the programme of distribution of rice at this reduced price on September 7 at Chilmari in Kurigram in a move to make Bangladesh hunger free.
