For the past 17 years, Iqbal Molla, a hotelier in the city's Maheswarpasha market, has been selling products for Iftar. He charges one taka for each peyaju, potato chop, and jhal chop.
At his store at the Maheswarpasha market near the Daulatpur police station in Khulna city, he sold it. There, each onion chop, potato chop, and jhal chop costs one rupee.
However, although Iqbal sold alone in the beginning, local businessmen are implementing this great initiative in the current booming market. This is their initiative to keep the purchasing power of low and middle income people within reach. Their activities will continue throughout the month of Ramadan.
Prices of daily necessities are increased in Khulna
Hotelier Md. Iqbal Molla said, I have been doing service work for 17 years. Many people help from outside. There are chops, beguni, kacha jhal chops, onions and chickpeas. Everything except chickpeas is sold for one rupee each. 17 years ago I sold each pitch for one taka, still selling at that price. We are doing the products that others are selling in the market. But ours is better and cheaper than their products. Here I try to bring good things and whoever helps me with things also gives good things.

He also said that many low-income people cannot buy and eat proper iftar in the current rising commodity prices. This is our initiative so that the hungry people can buy iftar at a low price and keep the market under control. It is getting good response. Our daily production target is 7 thousand goods. Sometimes it takes longer. Our event will continue throughout Ramadan.
A Iqbal Molla said, I start work from 6 am. Then others came to help me. As long as there is inventory, work continues.
