Dhaka, Dec. 3 -- Commerce Adviser Sk. Bashir Uddin today (Wednesday) said that the government is 'well-prepared' to ensure an adequate supply of essential items ahead of the forthcoming holy Month of Ramadan.

He noted the increased LC openings for essential commodities and recent reductions in the prices of sugar, lentils, chickpeas and eggs, BSS reports.

"InshaAllah, we hope to manage edible oil prices as well. We will welcome any logical proposal, but won't accept any unjustified move," he said, adding: "InshaAllah, we are well-prepared. Just like last year, we are addressing revenue-related issues and overall supply. We are seeing higher LCs opening than last Ramadan, so there should be no problem."
