The government will sell meat, eggs, and milk at lower prices in Bangladesh capital Dhaka from March 23, and it will continue till the 28th of Ramadan.

The Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock will sell meat, eggs, and milk at 20 points in Dhaka to meet public demand during Ramadan, the ministry’s public relations officer Iftekhar Hossain said.

Fisheries and livestock minister SM Rezaul Karim will launch the sale of these items — beef, mutton, dressed broiler chicken, milk, and eggs — formally at a function in Dhaka on Thursday.

The Department of Livestock will conduct the sales. However, prices of the items are yet to be fixed, he added.

These essential items will be sold at ‘cheaper prices’ to facilitate households’ protein intake throughout Ramadan, Iftekhar Hossain added.
