Mobile court fines fertiliser dealer over illegal stockpiling

Observer Online Report

A mobile court has fined a fertiliser dealer Tk 20,000 for illegally stockpiling 80 sacks of fertiliser at Chaikola Bazar in Chatmohar upazila of Pabna.

The mobile court conducted the drive at around 4:45PM on Wednesday (November 11), led by Chatmohar Upazila Assistant Commissioner (Land) Md Mojibur Rahman.

According to the inspection team, fertiliser was being distributed among farmers as usual at Bismillah Enterprise, a dealership outlet owned by Habibur Rahman at Chaikola Bazar. However, the team received confidential information that the dealer had illegally stored additional fertiliser at another warehouse.

Acting on the information, the team conducted a drive at the warehouse and recovered 80 sacks of DAP and TSP fertilisers. The seized fertiliser was later distributed among local farmers at government-fixed prices.

Assistant Commissioner (Land) Md Mojibur Rahman said the upazila had an adequate allocation of fertiliser, but some unscrupulous traders stockpiled it to create an artificial shortage and sell it at higher prices.

"Such practices will not be tolerated," he said, adding that Habibur Rahman was fined Tk 20,000 for illegally stockpiling fertiliser and warned against repeating the offence.
