Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed took a walkabout near Rangpur town yesterday, enquiring villagers about their everyday problems.
The chief adviser got out of his car at Baldipukur bus stoppage in Pairaband union on his way to Mithapukur upazila where he met a cross-section of the society.
Fakhruddin asked them about the prices of essentials in the area. The villagers told him that rice is selling at Tk 28 per kg and potato at Tk 10.
Farmers said they are facing scarcity of urea and potassium fertilisers. “If these are sold in the open market, it would be easier for us,” said many of them.
The chief adviser, however, said open-market sale may increase fertiliser price, but the farmers maintained that they would at least be able to buy “without harassment.”
Fakhruddin assured them that fertiliser would not be a problem as the government has taken adequate steps to supply it to the farmers on time.
