Telangana Government Fixes Rice

Telangana government has issued orders fixing the maximum selling prices of rice at ₹66 to ₹79 per kg depending on the variety to control rice prices in the state. It has warned that strict action will be taken against traders under the PD Act if they create artificial scarcity or paste fake MRP stickers on sacks and sell at higher prices. The government has also facilitated retail traders to purchase rice directly from rice millers instead of depending on wholesalers. It advised people to complain to officials if they face any issues.
