Agriculture Minister Abdus Shahid says the lack of public protests suggests that the prices of essential commodities in Bangladesh are manageable, and that is why people are not protesting over the costs. The minister, flanked by Food Minister Sadhan Chandra Majumder and State Minister for Commerce Ahasanul Islam Titu, spoke to the media at his ministry on Monday after a meeting on controlling prices, reports bdnews24.com. He expressed confidence in the country's price stability, attributing the lack of protests to the government's effective management. “We have discussed how the market situation is, the upcoming budget, what the future situation will be,” Shahid said. He emphasised that while official prices are set as guidelines, the actual market prices can fluctuate based on supply and demand factors.
