Jahangir Alam Chowdhury (retd.) said that after the anti-discrimination student movement on August 5, the police and other law enforcement forces were in a hostile situation, the Ansars have properly performed the duties assigned to them at that time. At that time they played an important role in the security of embassies, airports and various financial institutions. For that they undoubtedly deserve to be applauded and praised.

The adviser said that one of the reasons for the increase in commodity prices is the floods in Comilla, Feni and Noakhali in the south-eastern part of the country and the ongoing flood situation in Mymensingh and Sherpur. He said, Comilla is one of the largest vegetable producing districts in the country. The price of vegetables has increased as the production has been damaged due to floods.
