Amazing initiative of 10 young people, selling eggs for Tk. 140

The prices of daily commodities are increasing by leaps and bounds. From vegetables to fish and meat, there is fire everywhere even the eggs of the poor are about to disappear. When the market is locked in syndicates, 10 young people from Chattogram have become the light of hope for the lower classes. They are giving a dozen eggs to helpless people for Tk. 140 per dozen in this 'difficult time'.

From Thursday (October 17) this activity of young people started by selling eggs at Bahaddarhat intersection of Chattogram city. On Friday (October 18) they sold eggs at two junctions in Chawkbazar. Their egg selling program will continue until the syndicate is broken.

The brain of a young man named Mohammad Arif is behind this initiative to sell eggs at a fair price. Later he was joined by Mohammad Imran, Rezaul Karim, Md. Salim, Md. Sohail, Mohammad Saiful Islam, Abdus Sukkur, Masood Ahmed, Imam Hasan and Noor Zaman are nine other youths.

On Thursday afternoon, these young people sold 3000 eggs at two junctions in Bahaddarhat. They started selling eggs in front of Oli Kha Mosque in Chawkbazar and at Golza intersection on Friday afternoon due to massive response and people's request. On this day, they handed over 6,000 eggs to people. On Saturday (October 19), the youths hope to sell eggs at GEC intersection or Andarkilla area.

On Friday around five o'clock in the afternoon, he was seen lying on the van at the intersection of Golza. Crowd of people around. There was so much selling that the young people were not even getting a little leisure time. They were not giving more than 1 dozen eggs to each person. But since women can't leave home most of the time, young people give them the opportunity to buy one and half dozen eggs.

Taking some time out from his busy schedule, Mohammad Arif, the head of this initiative, spoke to Barta24.com. He said, "The unbearable increase in commodity prices, common people are not able to eat even an egg." There are many houses that could not buy eggs for a month or two. It is very distressing to us. We think of this initiative from that thought. Discussed with friends but they also responded because we also love the country. We also have to do something for the country. Now if many more young people come forward after seeing us that will be our success.

Mohammad Imran, Rezaul Karim, Md. Salim said, because of the syndicate, the price of every product has increased. We are thinking that if we bring eggs directly from the farm and carry out such activities, the syndicate will be destroyed. We want the syndicate to be destroyed and the people to win.

Mohammad Arif said that he did not take this initiative to sell these eggs in the hope of profit. He said, "If we can buy eggs from the farm and sell them at a fair price, why can't the egg traders?" Even if they made a profit of 10 taka per dozen, the dozen of eggs was not supposed to be more than Tk. 150. But how come the price of eggs is 170-180 taka?'

Veteran Gazi Mohammad Nurul Islam Shah appeared at the spot with a red and green flag on his head to encourage the youth. He said, "The price of everything is increasing due to syndicates, crooks and profiteers. This gang wants to destroy the second freedom we got by grabbing the hands of the youth. We common people will resist it by taking various initiatives like this.

Mohammad Forkanul Islam, a member of the traffic police, was also standing in line with other people to buy eggs. He told Barta24.com, 'This initiative of the youth is really commendable. Due to such different religious initiatives, ordinary people can also eat eggs.

Barta24.com talked to several women and men who came to buy eggs. All one thing - such a small initiative will one day break all syndicates to increase the price!
