Sushanta Chowdhury, the minister of food and civil supplies for Tripura, said on Thursday that the state’s gasoline and diesel problems will be resolved in a day when wagons loaded with gasoline arrived. The most recent information indicates that things have improved and that carts carrying gasoline have already arrived in the state. “All the district and subdivision level officers, food inspectors, and officials from the directorate are in attendance at the meeting where all the major issues are going to be discussed,” he told reporters outside of a review meeting of the food and civil supplies department.
Additionally, we will begin purchasing paddy for the Rabi crop season. The minister stressed that his department does not deal with agricultural items when asked about the rapidly rising prices of vegetables and agricultural products on the markets. He went on to explain, “We have decided in principle to consult with merchant associations and ration dealers of all major markets operating in the state in phases.” “They had devastated our local production,” the minister said, blaming the recent floods for the soaring prices of vegetables. Retail prices are rising sharply as a result of the traders’ importation of vegetables from other states and the related transportation costs.
