The state-run Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) is set to resume its sales programme through trucks today (10 February), aiming to provide essential commodities at subsidised rates to consumers in Dhaka and Chattogram metropolitan areas.

According to a media release issued yesterday, the TCB will offer items including edible oil, lentils, sugar, chickpeas and dates through mobile trucks.

This initiative is designed to assist low-income families and stabilise market prices.
