Food Minister Afrooza Khanam Rita said no one would be spared if irregularities are found at any food warehouse in Bangladesh. Speaking Saturday after visiting a free medical camp and attending a public reception at Dhankora Girish Chandra High School in Saturia, Manikganj, she said food warehouses in every district would be inspected in phases and those involved in wrongdoing would face immediate legal action.
The minister said the government considers food security and safe food among its major priorities, warning that unsafe food can harm public health. She said storage and management of food grains at warehouses would be closely monitored. An irregularity has already been identified at a food warehouse in Ghior upazila of Manikganj, and necessary legal action has been taken against those concerned.
Rita said the country has adequate food stocks to address disasters or crises, while authorities are also paying special attention to supply systems. She said there is no fertilizer shortage, although distribution coordination gaps may exist in some places, and farmers should not face fertilizer supply problems during the current transplanted aman season. She also said preliminary work, including a feasibility study, has begun for a second Padma Bridge project.
