Govt to import 52,000 tonnes of onion

The government has taken initiative to import some 52,000 metric tons of onion from India against the LCs opened earlier in a bid to curtail the price of such an essential item in the local kitchen market.
The Ministry of Commerce has already sent a letter to the Bangladesh High Commission to take the necessary action in this regard.
Besides, all the respective deputy commissioners have been asked to ensure strict monitoring in their respective areas so that onion is being sold at the kitchen market at a rational price.
