Chandigarh, June 24

The Haryana traders have opposed the state government’s decision to reduce the stock limit of the pulses for traders, dealers and millers in view of the rising prices of the pulses.

Bajrang Dass Garg, a former chairman of the Confed and president of the Haryana Pradesh Vyapar Mandal, yesterday slammed the government for its new regulations and said the new norms would encourage ‘inspector raj’ as the officials of the Food and Supplies Department would start harassing traders.

The goverment has decreased stock limit for wholesalers and retailers from 250 quintals and 25 quintals, respectively, to 25 and 15 quintals, respectively.
