This come amid the government’s rate list issued early this week for both vegetables, fruits and poultry.

Consumers in Srinagar told news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that none adheres to the rate list issued by the department.

“The Government has fixed the rate of chicken at Rs 130/Kg but it is being sold between Rs 135-140 per kilogram. Now tell me, where is the regulation and what is the concerned department doing,” said a consumer in Srinagar.

Mohammad Maqbool, a shopkeeper in Srinagar said there is no check on prices of fruits and vegetables and shopkeepers are selling them at exorbitant prices.

Shabir Ahmad, a private school teacher said that instead of offering discounts in the holy month of Ramadan, essentials are being sold at inflated prices.

“Rates of A and B grade bananas have been fixed at Rs 130 and Rs 90 per dozen but it is being sold in the market at Rs 140 and 120 per dozen. Same is the case with other fruits”, he said.

Similarly, people in other parts of the Valley too complained about lack of market checking.

Director FCSCA Kashmir could not be contacted.
