How 40 Tk ice cream turns into 80 Tk in BCB
Even though the national game of Bangladesh is not cricket. But it is at the peak of popularity. The spectators stand in line from dawn to night for tickets to watch Shakib-Tamim play on the field. But those spectators who came to the stadium were victims of irregularities and corruption. A cricket fan named Hriday has revealed the corruption of BCB.
On Tuesday (August 13), many cricket fans gathered in front of the Home of Cricket in Mirpur, demanding BCB reforms and Nazmul Hasan Papon's resignation. During the game, Hriday highlighted various corruptions in the stadium.
He said, 'We love cricket in Bangladesh. But the cricket board doesn't think about us. A burger that is available outside at Tk 60, comes to BCB and becomes Tk 150. The water of 20 Tk becomes 100 Tk.
Hriday also said, 'I once asked an ice cream seller what is the price of an ice cream? He said 80 Tk. So I said how 40 Tk ice cream becomes 80 Tk. The ice cream seller said he had to pay 20 Tk per ice cream.
The black-marketing of BCB tickets is nothing new. He said, 'We don't get tickets by standing in line from early in the morning. Because the tickets went to the board directors' relatives the night before. But BCB runs on our money.'
