Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi has said the price of sugar go down within a day or two. 

Besides, actions will be taken against those who will sell sugar beyond the fixed price, the minister said.   

He made the remark while addressing an event at National Press Club in the capital on Tuesday (May 16).

The minister said sugar price will not increase further. The price will decrease rather. After fulfilling all criteria, the Trade and Tariff Commission fixed a price, he also said. 

"We are well-informed regarding the excessive price of sugar in the local market than prices fixed by us. We have given instructions to the Directorate of National Consumers Right Protection and administration so that they can take action against those who are selling sugar at high prices, he added.”
