The former advisor to the caretaker government and renowned economist Dr Hossain Zillur Rahman said, like last year, this time the context is very challenging. People's income has decreased.

Meanwhile, the overall situation of the Covid-19 pandemic is being reviewed at every moment.
Everyone is urged to adhere to the rules of hygiene so that the Covid-19 infection does not spread again.
