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.
