CHUADANGA, March 1, 2026 (BSS) - A shopkeeper was fined Taka 70,000 today for selling baby food products without expiry dates and repackaging goods under his own company name. 
 
The fine was imposed during a market monitoring drive conducted by the National Consumer Rights Protection Department in Damurhuda upazila on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan.
