Continue feeding extreme poor

Regulatory Reforms Commission (RRC) Chairman Dr Akbar Ali Khan yesterday urged the government to continue feeding the extreme poor despite good prospect of boro harvest. "The country needs adequate quantity of food stock. In addition, there should be food arrangement for the extreme poor, as they won't be able to buy food at whatever may be the level of price,' he told reporters at the RRC office. Dr Akbar Ali said, "The government also needs to create employment opportunities for them (extreme poor).'
