The Crime Desk: The mobile court of the upazila administration has seized TCB products illegally sold in the open market in Ukhia.
On Saturday (December 21), Upazila Nirbahi Officer Kamrul Hossain Chowdhury conducted the operation at the hat and bazaar adjacent to the upazila’s Kot Bazar station on Saturday afternoon, accompanied by Upazila Assistant Commissioner (Land) Zareen Tasnim Tasin.
The Upazila Nirbahi Officer said, “TCB products cannot be marketed and sold in the open market without a dealer. Action has been taken as per the rules after finding evidence on the spot.”
Three traders, including local traders Abu Bakar and Kamal Uddin, were fined Tk 10,000 in the operation and were warned that strict legal action will be taken if they carry out such activities in the future.
Locals said that TCB products have not been available for a long time, but some unscrupulous traders, like Abubakkar, are strategically collecting TCB products, including edible oil, at low prices and supplying them to consumers at high profits.
Upazila Assistant Commissioner (Land) Zareen Tasnim Tasin said that such activities of the administration will continue to keep the market situation normal.
