Govt to crack down on price-hike syndicates

Labour and Employment adviser Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan on Saturday said stern action will be taken under the Special Powers Act against those involved in syndicates inflating commodity prices."It is a must to take steps to break the syndicates. But, it is hard as the syndicates have links with the fallen fascist government. We have to take the hard-line. Otherwise, it will not be possible to break the syndicates. We are taking steps, if necessary drives would be launched against them under the Special Powers Act after identifying the main culprits," he added.Asif, also adviser
