Adviser for commerce and education Dr Hossain Zillur Rahman today laid emphasis on coordinating the demands of large number of stakeholders operating in the market with a view to developing it on strong foundation.

He made this comment while exchanging views in the conference room of the Deputy Commissioner with officials, civil society leaders, farmers, representatives of local producers and printing industry.

The commerce adviser said coordination of divergent interest of four broad- based stakeholder groups is important to bring discipline in the market. These groups include consumers, producers, businessmen and various government agencies to make sure they are behaving in a cohesive way.

And more important to all of them, he said is the collection of correct market information and its proper maintenance.

The meeting witnessed free, frank discussion on how to achieve the development of the district and the participants shared their views on wide ranging issues affecting their life and the development of the district.

They exchanged views on prices of essentials, problems affecting education and agriculture and the challenges arising out of market distortions. They emphasised the need for solving these problems in the light of the realities on the ground.

Dr Hossain Zillur said he would convey the views of the people to the relevant agencies of the government to bring remedial actions where it is required.
