Demonstrating the government's commitment to consumer welfare and market stability, the prime minister has underlined the need to keep commodity prices within reasonable bounds, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.

The Bangladeshi government is planning to launch an emergency helpline, 333, which will allow people to report overpriced goods in neighborhood markets and supermarkets. This is a big step toward empowering consumers. During an event at the ministry on Monday, Zunaid Ahmed Palak, the State Minister for ICT, unveiled this plan.

This hotline is a component of a larger initiative to improve commodities pricing transparency. In addition to the helpline, a user-friendly website with up-to-date pricing information on necessities will be introduced. With just one click, customers will be able to verify the normal costs of necessities thanks to this user-friendly digital portal.

The helpline is expected to begin operations on January 31 and provide eight different services. State Minister Palak said that consumers can report any disparities in commodities prices quickly, and that these issues would be resolved right away.

To guarantee accurate and current information, the Agriculture Ministry, Commerce Ministry, and other pertinent agencies will update the website regularly.

When asked about orders from the national leadership, Palak cited Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's advice to government employees to exercise caution. To demonstrate the government's commitment to consumer welfare and market stability, the prime minister has underlined the need to keep commodity prices within reasonable bounds, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.
