The government has taken an initiative to bring 10 lakh low-income families across the country under an affordable protein supply programme during the holy month of Ramadan.
State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Sultan Salauddin Tuku said that protein-rich products will be sold at subsidised prices at 25 designated spots across the capital.
He said this on Thursday morning at the inauguration of a programme to sell milk, eggs and meat at affordable prices at the conference room of the Livestock Research Institute at Mohakhali.
Salauddin Tuku said the initiative, taken in line with the government's commitment to public welfare under the leadership of Tarique Rahman, will ensure the supply of milk, eggs, meat and fish for low-income people at affordable prices.
Collective efforts are essential to move the country towards development and prosperity.
The state minister added, all concerned must work with honesty and dedication to fulfil the commitments made by the Prime Minister to the nation.
He said such government initiatives would help ease their suffering and there are plans to expand the programme further in the future.
