Through open market sales (OMS) on trucks the Trading Corporation of Bangladesh (TCB) will sell onions imported from India for Tk40 per kilogram from Tuesday (2 April).
Md Humayun Kabir, head of TCB's regional office and information officer told that State Minister for Commerce Ahsanul Islam Titu will inaugurate the programme at the TCB Bhaban in Karwan Bazar.
Last night Bangladesh received 1,650 tonnes of onions from India.
According to the TCB, people will get onions on 103 spots of Dhaka, 55 spots of Chattogram and 17-20 spots of Gazipur.
Humayun Kabir assured that while some spots may be missed on the first day, the issue will be resolved by the following day.
Each TCB truck will have at least 10 tonnes of onions, he added.
A couple of weeks ago, onions were sold at Tk90 per kg in Dhaka markets. But the prices decreased after onions started being imported from India.
