Stringent measures under the Special Powers Act of 1974 will be taken if anyone attempts to destabilise the market by hoarding goods, Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq said today (5 March).

"The Special Powers Act was enacted in 1974 to address this issue particularly. I want to inform all through you that measures will be taken against hoarders under the Special Power Act," he said during a media interaction after the closing session of the third day of the District Administrators' Conference 2024. 

The minister also gave directions to quickly dispose of the pending mobile court cases and sought the deputy commissioners' cooperation to resolve the backlog of cases.
