BHOLA, Feb 25, 2026 (BSS) - A month-long programme to sell milk, eggs and 
chicken at fair prices has begun in the district during Ramadan, aiming to 
ensure affordable access to essential animal protein for low-and middle-
income families.

The initiative, launched on Tuesday (February 24), is being jointly 
implemented by the District Livestock Department and the district 
administration.

The programme was formally inaugurated by Additional Deputy Commissioner Md. 
Belal Hossain at the premises of the District Livestock Office.

Bhola District Livestock Officer Mohammad Rafiqul Islam, Bhola Sadar Upazila 
Livestock Officer Dr. Shahin Mahmud, Organizing Secretary of Bhola District 
Dairy Farm Association Kamrul Hasan Khokon, farmer Biplob, and other local 
farmers were present.

According to officials, the programme will continue throughout the Holy month 
of Ramadan. As part of the initiative, approximately 200,000 eggs, 2,000 
kilograms of chicken meat, and 2,000 liters of milk will be sold at 
government-fixed affordable prices through mobile vans across Bhola.

Additional Deputy Commissioner said that the fair price sales would help 
stabilize the local market and reduce pressure on consumers during the 
Ramadan, when demand for essential food items typically increases.
