President of Bangladesh Dairy Farmers Association (BDFA) Imran Hossain announced in a workshop organized by the Directorate of Consumer Rights Protection at the National Press Club on Sunday that the price of beef will be lowered by Tk 50 per kg from Monday.
But the pledge remains unmet as beef was being sold at Tk750 per kg as before on Monday, reports UNB.
Visiting butchers in Karwan Bazaar of the capital on Monday, this correspondent learned that beef is being sold at the same price for two weeks.
Sellers said that the price of beef in the market was a little higher after Eid. At that time beef was sold at Tk780 to Tk 800 per kg. Then it decreased a bit.
There are also no plans or instructions to reduce the price in line with the BDFA president`s announcement, they said.
