Guwahati, Oct 25 To check price rise of essential commodities, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today launched a fair price shop for vegetables and mobile sale centres.
Gogoi said the government was keeping a close watch on price rise and directed deputy commissioners and officials of the food and civil supply department to act tough against hoarders.
Noting that price rise of essentials is a global phenomenon, the chief minister said this had happened due to drastic fall in production of foodgrains.
He urged people to keep a strict vigil on the prices and report to the authorities about any attempt by businessmen to create artificial shortage of essentials.
