Experts urge gout

Staff Correspondent
Experts at a roundtable yesterday said the new government should immediately supply fertilisers at low price by providing subsidy so that farmers can produce bumper Boro paddy in the next season.
They also suggested forming a citizens' committee in every region to find out irregularities in the distribution of fertilisers as well as ways to stop them.
The prices of rice and other essentials cannot be reduced without decreasing the production costs. For this reason, the government will have to ensure sufficient power supply for irrigation, they added.''
Bangabaqdhu Diploma Agriculturists Association organised the roundtable on 'Promises and responsibilities of the new government to control essentials' prices' at the National Press Club in the city.
Speaking as the chief guest, noted economist Prof Muzaffer Ahmad said it is the great challenge for the new government to ensure reasonable prices of commodities in the kitchen market.
“It is very difficult to eliminate syndicates who are responsible for skyrocketing
prices of commodities. The government should form a farmers' committee and set up commodity exchange market in every region," he added.
He thanked the government for discussing the rising prices of essentials at its first cabinet meeting and is taking a decision to reduce diesel price.
Unnayan Shamannay Chairman Dr Atiur Rahman suggested that the new government should give its priority on ensuring the availability of fertilisers in the market.
He also suggested forming a special committee at the Prime Minister's Office who will come out with necessary measures through conducting researched'a net 'consiiltihg farmers, agriculture officers, agriculturists and experts.
Prof SM Imamul Haq of Dhaka University said consumer rights law, and essential commodity law will have to be implemented to ensure the prices stable in the market.
Coordination among agriculture, food, land, commerce and environment ministries is very needed to keeping essentials price under common people's ability, he added.
Former adviser to a caretaker government Dhiraj Kumar Nath suggested reor-
ganising the state-owned Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) for reaching low-price essentials to the poor.
Agriculturist Dr MA Nasir, Bangabandhu Diploma Agriculturists Association President Zahir Uddin Mabu and Organising Secretary M Abul Kalam Azad also took part in the programme.
