Boycott food adulterers: minister
Stressing the need for raising public awareness to prevent food adulteration, Food Minister Sadhan Chandra Majumder yesterday urged all to socially boycott those involved in adulteration.
He was speaking at a seminar on food security, jointly arranged by Consumers Association of Bangladesh, Bij Bistar Foundation and Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies at a Dhaka hotel.
Expressing dissatisfaction at his limited scope of work, he said, “I have no work except attending meetings and seminars to raise awareness against food adulteration.”
He further said there is no coordination among government agencies working to secure consumer rights.
There is no monitoring in the market to ensure safe food and fair prices, the minister added.
