Planning Minister MA Mannan has commented that the crazy horse of inflation has come to the bug. He said, there is good news — the wild horse of inflation has been reined in. Inflation data will be released in a day or two. Inflation rose in August. But it decreased in September. This is because four crore people are getting benefits through one crore family cards. Also, as a result of various initiatives of the government, those who are directly affected by inflation are benefiting. As a result inflation has been curbed.

The minister said these things at the opening ceremony of a training program of BDS on Monday. Planning Minister MA Mannan was the chief guest in this training program at BIDS conference room in Agargaon of the capital. The guest of honor was the state minister for planning. Shamsul Alam. Special guest was Planning Secretary Mamun-al-Rashid, Secretary of Statistics and Information Management Department. Shahnaz Arefin and Director General of Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics Matiur Rahman. The director general of BIDS presided. Vinayak Sen. Director of Census and House Counting Project said. Dildar Hossain, coordinator of PEC activities. Yunus.

The planning minister said that the monitoring of the census through a third party is starting on October 10. New data collection will be started in 354 sample areas of the country. This program will start from 12:01 PM on 9th October and will continue till 16th October.

He said, we will not do any engineering in the data. It is getting delayed only due to procedural reasons. He also said that this census was done by spending people’s money. Now PCO is being done. In this case, it should be remembered that this large amount of money is used properly. The responsibility of spending this money is as rare an honor as it is important. You should work independently. I say as a senior man – no problem at work. I am working out of loyalty to the country and not to any party or system.

Dr. Shamsul Alam said, BBS has done a good census despite various obstacles. It is now being tested. BBS should be given a little more freedom. Bangladesh does not enjoy the freedom of statistical resources in India. Bureau of Statistics should provide more updated information.
