State Minister for Fisheries, Livestock, Agriculture, and Food Sultan Salauddin Tuku announced that the government has launched an initiative to provide affordable protein-rich foods, including milk, eggs, meat, and fish, to low-income families across Bangladesh during the holy month of Ramadan. The program aims to include around one million families nationwide, with expectations that it will help stabilize market prices and benefit general consumers.

The announcement was made on Thursday at the Livestock Research Institute in Mohakhali during the inauguration of a special Ramadan sales program for milk, eggs, and meat. The minister said the initiative reflects the government’s commitment under Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s leadership to work for public welfare. He emphasized honesty, dedication, and teamwork in implementing the prime minister’s promises.

Tuku added that such programs will ease the burden on low-income groups affected by price hikes during Ramadan and that the government plans to expand the initiative in the future. He also mentioned upcoming plans to introduce family, agriculture, and health cards to fulfill electoral commitments.
