The popular online marketplace evaly has been given three weeks to provide customers with comprehensive information, including debt payments. This time has been given not on the basis of demand but in accordance with logical and legal rights, said Hafizur Rahman, the Director-General of the WTO Cell (Additional Secretary).
He made the remarks after the first meeting of an inter-ministerial committee set up by the Commerce Ministry to take a decision on evaly on Wednesday (August 11) afternoon.
“We sent a letter to evaly on July 19,” he told reporters about the decision of the meeting. Then they replied on July 31. 12 days have passed. Now 11 more days have passed this month. All in all, they have been given three weeks.
“We received the letter on August 1,” he said. They told us it would take six months to create the data. They said they have agreed to invest Taka 1,000 crore. Of this, Tk 200 crore has already been invested. They will deliver the products regularly within six months as per their demand. They will provide information about these every fortnightly. However, they said that they will submit the report after getting it audited by a third party within six months.
The meeting was attended by representatives of the Bangladesh Competition Commission, Ministry of Home Affairs, Department of Information Technology (ICT), Bangladesh Bank, National Board of Revenue (NBR) and National Consumer Rights Protection.
