TCB to resume truck sales tomorrow

The Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) will resume selling essential commodities at subsidised prices through mobile trucks from tomorrow.

According to a statement, the TCB will sell edible oil at Tk 135 per litre, lentil at Tk 80 per kilogram (kg), and sugar at Tk 85 per kg.

Each customer will be able to buy two litres of edible oil, two kgs of lentil, and one kg of sugar.

The state agency said it would operate 690 trucks — including 50 in Dhaka and 20 in Chattogram — to sell edible oil, lentil, and sugar at rates below market prices to support low-income people.

The truck sales will continue until June 3 this year, according to the statement.

Apart from truck sales, the TCB will continue to provide these commodities to its family cardholders.

Earlier, the agency had suspended truck sales on March 28 this year.
