Agartala: May 20: Authorities in Kailashahar have uncovered widespread black marketing practices at several government-run fair price shops following a series of raids led by Food Department official Ratnadeep Das. The crackdown comes in response to growing complaints from residents about the non-availability of essential commodities such as rice, pulses, sugar, and salt at subsidized rates.

According to officials, many of these items were being diverted and sold in the open market at inflated prices. The investigation revealed significant stock discrepancies at multiple outlets, highlighting the scale of the malpractice.

One of the worst offenders was Town No. 4 Fair Price Shop, where 3,830 kg of rice and 177 kg of sugar were unaccounted for. Similarly, Town No. 13 was found lacking 3,071 kg of rice, 39 kg of pulses, and 715 kg of sugar. Irregularities were also reported from shops in Town Nos. 1 and 7, as well as in Nurpur and Srinathpur areas.

While some fair price shop dealers were found to be adhering to guidelines, many were exploiting the Public Distribution System (PDS) for personal profit.

In response to the findings, the Food Department has issued show cause notices to the erring dealers, imposed heavy financial penalties, and obtained written assurances from them to refrain from future violations.

The enforcement action has been widely welcomed by residents of Kailashahar, who have long demanded transparency and fairness in the distribution of essential commodities. Locals expressed hope that such stringent action will help restore the integrity of the PDS and ensure equitable access to subsidized goods for all.

Authorities have assured continued monitoring and further action if necessary to prevent future instances of black marketing in the region.
