Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi inaugurated the DNCC-Oikko Holiday Market at ICT Road in Agargaon around 11:30am on Friday.
"It [the market] should not be mismanaged in any way. Dhaka North City Corporation will have to take initiative to expand its scope and manage it beautifully," he said.

“This holiday market was on the list of our campaign promises. We’re taking the initiative to set up holiday markets in all 54 wards of DNCC. We’ll implement it very soon,” said Mayor Atiqul Islam.
DNCC and Oikko Foundation, a non-profit working for the country's Cottage, Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (CMSME) sector, co-organised this market as a pilot project, said the mayor.
