OMS rice sale at subsidised prices will bring some relief to the poor
The 215 tonnes of rice, flour and wheat that was seized by Rab on September 8 and 9 do not belong to Open Market Sale (OMS) programme, Dhaka City OMS Dealers' Association claims.
At a time when consumers are hit hard by high prices of rice, a section of government-appointed dealers allegedly sold rice, meant for Open Market Sale programme, in the market.
