Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday asked the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) force to be more vigilant against the dishonest businesses to help stablise the prices of the essentials during the upcoming month of Ramadan.
“Holy Ramadan is coming. During this month it is very unfortunate that some dishonest businessmen become more greedy instead of restraining the greed,” she said.
She was addressing the 20th founding anniversary of RAB at the elite force`s headquarters in the capital`s Kurmitola.
She mentioned that these business people start hoarding essential items for this Ramadan, hike the prices and play various types of tricks.
“Proper steps must be taken against these dishonest businessmen and smugglers,” she asked the RAB officials.
Hasina also directed the RAB personnel to intensify their drive against the counterfeit notes ahead of Eid-ul-fitr.
“The drive against these elements are going on and I am asking you to continue the drive,” she said.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan and Director General (DG) of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) M Khurshid Hossain also spoke at the programme.
A documentary on recent activities of RAB was screened at the programme.
