Dhal, canned fish to be sold at normal rates

(FASTNEWS | COVID-19) – Retailers announced that they are reverting to selling a kilo of dhal at Rs. 134 and canned fish (425 grams) at Rs. 192 with effect from 15 April.

The Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) issued a Gazette Notification in March imposing a Maximum Retail Price (MRP) on dhal and canned fish.

Accordingly, the MRP on dhal was Rs. 65 a kilo and canned fish (425 grams) at Rs. 100.

However, the Cabinet had last week decided to lift the MRP and sell dhal and canned fish through the Sathosa Co-operative stores at the control price.

As a result, retailers have now announced that they will be reverting to the normal price with immediate effect.
