Rice scarcity
By Md. Mahamudur Rahman, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka
Last week, I visited some BDR shops and saw the situation of our
country. The queues of people in front of BDR rice selling centres in
capital Dhaka and other major town****ps across the country turned
longer this week with increasing number of people joining them. While
visiting some BDR outlets, it could be noticed that the majority of
the people in the line for rice were women, some cradling their babies
in their arms in the unbearable summer heat.
The situation is turning critical as prices of rice are not coming
down.
