It is indeed worrying that the Government has decided the operation of the open market sale outlets for five days Eid holiday, planned to on 30 August start and end to the 3. According to a report in the new age on Sunday published the relevant decision has dismay among the people as a whole, depending on the market sale of rice, apparently at the cheaper price compared to the markets, this seemingly causes flock to the OMS outlets in various parts of the capital Dhaka on Saturday. On the other hand, many traders have closed apparently its sales offices all over before the scheduled time like their inventories, and one whole set of people after waiting in long lines for hours with empty pockets return. Overall all these supposedly some people in concern of the closure of the OMS outputs have passed "forever".
With the rise in prices for key raw materials, which include the brackets, the Awami League Jatiyo party Government continued the business of "open market sale" to rice at TK 24 a kg last year sale by truck to the capital in December, which was later extended to district, shortly and Union levels by distributors. Such an initiative, the important officials of the Ministry declared food, together with the Minister itself, on more occasions than one, aimed at reducing the price of rice on the markets on the one hand and give some rest to the low-income groups in particular, on the other. Meanwhile, as people have these layers spend over 60 percent of their income on food, as well as costs rough rice TK 35 to 40 in markets, they have no options but to go to the OMS outlets, although the rice, which sold there in General is reportedly of poor quality. What is worse, thanks to the incumbent, in particular the low-income groups, led consecutive decisions on hike in fuel prices, the further rise in the prices of all kinds of transports and thus substantial prices, in General, people had to tighten their belts further in recent months. Needless to say, in these circumstances according to media reports, queues in the OMS outlets longer has since become.
In other words, it is lack of understanding of the reality on the ground, if the Government decides to hold closed for even a single day, these dependent on it to starve the operation of OMS, could result in at least for this day. The Government needs to recognize that it already failed to keep prices of Essentials within reach of people about the layers, in this context, which is a violation of his constitutional obligation, in addition to his campaign promise. It has relaxed no effective and lasting operation of the OMS sockets to feel, and so the decision in question should immediately revoke.
