Stay alert about syndicate in markets: Adviser

Home Adviser Lt Gen (Retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury on Sunday called upon the traders to remain alert against syndicate and extortion to check the price hike of essentials, reports BSS.

"Inform the members of the law enforcement agencies immediately if anyone is found attempting to extort money (in the markets and elsewhere)," he said after visiting Nawhata and Khargori markets in Rajshahi metropolitan.

The adviser enquired about prices of the commodities in the markets and asked the local traders to remain alert as there was no syndicate and extortion in the markets, a Home Ministry press release said.
