The prime minister said this while talking to reporters after casting her vote in the by-polls to Dhaka-10 constituency at Dhaka City College on Saturday morning, reports BSS. The prime minister said there should be a strong vigilance both from the authorities concerned and the people so that none can hoard essential goods cashing on the novel coronavirus outbreak. Sheikh Hasina said there are 1.7 million metric tons of food grains in the government warehouses apart from 350,000MT wheat. “Besides there are huge quantities of food grains in the private rice mills, as well. So I would like to request all to buy goods (essential) that are necessary for them,” she said.
