CAB protests obstruction of consumer watchdog drive

UNB :

The Consumers Association of Bangladesh (CAB) staged a human chain on Sunday to protest what it called the obstruction of a government market monitoring drive and demanded strict action against those responsible.

The demonstration took place in front of the Jatiya Press Club in the capital.

Speaking at the event, CAB General Secretary Advocate Humayun Kabir Bhuiyan praised the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection for its work in safeguarding consumer rights.

He, however, alleged that Mohammad Ali Bhuiyan, president of the Moulvibazar Traders’ Association in Chawkbazar, had unlawfully obstructed the government initiative.

“Public resentment is growing as no effective action has yet been taken against those responsible.

We will take our protests to districts and cities across the country and submit a memorandum to the Ministry of Commerce,” he said.
