The students are selling goods including vegetables without having any profit from the people in cheaper prices than those of fixed by the syndicates in the local markets.

The initiative began at city's Shibbari Square, Boyra Bazar Intersection, Natun Bazar Mour, Gallamari Hall Road Mour, Daulatpur Bus Stand Road and BIDC near Chitrali market.

The selling began at 6 am and continued till 11 am. Later on, it began again at 5 pm and continued till 8 pm.

While visiting the City's Shibari Square in the morning, it was seen that poor people from different professions are buying their necessary goods from the shops.

Shoppers noted that the prices are at least Tk 5 to 12 cheaper in per kilogram than the market rates.

Expressing satisfaction after purchasing vegetables, onion and pulse at reasonable prices, Md Salam, a rickshaw-puller said, "We don't have capacity to buy essential goods from kitchen markets. I am passing hardship with five members family as I earn a little money by plying rickshaw."

At the fair-price stall set up by students, onions at Tk 75, garlic at Tk 215, green chilly Tk 150,  medium-sized gourds Tk 40, taro stalks Tk 40 and papayas at Tk 20.

Muhibulla Muhib, a coordinator of the student movement, said that this initiative aimed at stable essential commodity prices to break syndicates.

"Our initiatives will continue until kitchen markets get stabled and freed from syndicates," he said, adding that farmers were not getting fair price due to the middle men.

"The recent surge of the prices of the daily goods has put pressure on ordinary people and realising the hardship, we took the initiative," he added.
