The Jammu Kashmir administration has woken up to the exorbitant food prices in the region, issuing a price list of fruits and vegetables. Department of Food, Civil Supplies, and Consumer Affairs has fixed rates for vegetables and fruits to avoid overcharging. Officials of the department said that strict action would be initiated against the violators of the rate list issued by the Jammu Kashmir admin.
During Ramadan, shopkeepers charge extremely high rates, when the shopkeepers around the world offer discounts in this month. The general public is urged to call the officials of the Department if they find any shopkeeper selling goods at even a single rupee higher than the rates fixed by the admin.”
