The ongoing countrywide lockdown has made things worse for the milk producers in Pabna and Sirajganj, who have already been suffering from poor sales due to a slump in local consumption.
In a bid to tame the alarming rate of coronavirus infections across Bangladesh, the government announced a seven-day lockdown that began on Monday.
During this period, restrictions on public movement will be enforced, making it difficult for local milk consumers to travel to the market as transportation facilities are limited.
