The Dhaka district administration is starting ‘Jonotar Bazar’ in February to help reduce the impact of rising prices by offering essential goods at fair prices. The first market will open in Mohammadpur, and six more will follow in different areas of Dhaka.
These markets will sell items like fish, meat, vegetables, milk, and eggs at fixed, affordable prices. Local entrepreneurs, students, and unemployed youth will manage the markets, providing job opportunities. The government will help keep prices stable and ensure good quality.
The main aim is to make essential goods more affordable for people, especially those with lower incomes. By buying directly from farmers, the prices will stay low. You can also check the prices and stock online. Extra items will be available during Ramadan to meet the higher demand.
The Jonotar Bazar project hopes to make life easier for people by providing affordable products and helping the community.
Locations:
1. Mohammadpur
2. Mirpur (Golartek Field)
3. Kamrangirchar (Kunraghat Medical Intersection)
4. Badda (Satarkul Boro Beraid Bazar Graveyard)
5. Gulshan (Dhelna Mosque Field)
6. Demra (Sarulia Bazar)
7. Additional location (yet to be specified)
This initiative will help reduce the cost of living for everyone, especially in the face of rising prices.
