Hry lowers stock limit of pulses for traders

Chandigarh: Haryana government has reduced the stock limit for retailers to control increasing prices of pulses and to check hoarding. The limit for dealers, including wholesalers, distribution agents and seller agents, has been reduced to 250 quintals from 500 quintals and 25 quintals from 50 quintals for retailers.

Official teams would extensively check stock holdings of all pulses in their respective districts to ensure that manufacturers, dealers and retailers have not stored more stock than the prescribed limit.

Chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar said on Wednesday that if any retailer was found keeping stock of pulses more than the prescribed limit, he would face action under the Haryana Prevention of Hoarding and Maintenance of Quality Order, 1977.
