Bhubaneswar: Amid skyrocketing costs of greens, meals gadgets and different important commodities, the Odisha authorities as we speak warned the merchants, particularly the retail businessmen of strict motion in the event that they resort to cost hike.
Meals Provides and Shopper Welfare Minister Krushna Chandra Patra as we speak stated that no merchants can promote any important commodities at excessive costs.
“I’ve directed the departmental officers to conduct raids on the unscrupulous merchants who’re discovered promoting commodities at excessive costs. As per norms, a retail dealer can preserve Rs 4 -5 revenue after transportation expenses,” he stated.
If any grievance is obtained on this regard, strict motion might be taken in opposition to the erring merchants, the Minister added.
The costs of greens have touched Rs 100 per kg within the native market.
