CAB Chattogram advises consumers to practice moderation during Ramadan

Speakers at a market-based campaign programme of Consumers Association of Bangladesh (CAB) Chattogram in Khatunganj Bazaar, the country's largest wholesale market, have advised consumers not to purchase whole month's goods at once.

They also recommended people to distribute cash instead of iftar items among the poor, urged businessmen to restraint from profiteering, and change eating habits at iftar. 

The programme was arranged by CAB Chattogram and CAB Youth Group, where Vice President of CAB Central Committee SM Najer Hossain participated, among many others, a press release reads. 

Leaders from both organisations advised consumers to avoid eating fried food and foreign fruits, as they contain oil, and sugary ingredients, as well as do not meet the body's requirement for nourishment after a long day of fasting, according to the release.
