The
amendment has been made recently in the Central Order
under Essential Commodities Act to enable States to impose stock limits
on pulses sourced from imports, held by exporters, large food processing units
as well as large departmental retailers. The States were exhorted to carryout
surprise inspections and raids to prevent hoarding of pulses.
In
a bid to increase the availability of pulses, in Haryana MD, HADED has been
directed to procure pulses from the market and sell it through its outlets to
bring down the prices.
In
Uttarakhand, Retail counters of pulse have been opened in Dehradun, Haridwar,
Udhamsingh Nagar by Mandi samitis through which arhar dal is provided @ Rs 145
per Kg. Instructions have been given to all districts to provide pulses at the
decided price through Fair price shops.
In
Delhi, tur dal is being sold at Rs. 120/Kg through outlets of Safal and
Kendriya Bhandar.
As
per information received from Tamil Nadu Government, 1Kg of Urad is being sold
@ Rs. 30 / Kg in the state while Government outlets in Andhra Pradesh and in Telangana are distributing one Kg of Red gram @ Rs. 50/Kg.
