Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) will launch a drive in the city today (Monday) against those who would charge higher price of sugar than the usual rate. They have already started warning the shopkeepers through Dhaka City Corporation to take necessary actions against those who would charge excess price of sugar. Sugar price has marked a rise by Tk 3 per kilogramme immediately after the announcement of the budget for 2007-08, proposing increase in specific import duty on raw sugar import from Tk 2,250 per tonne to Tk 4,000. â€” UNB
